Is the timing chain snapping still an issue on engines this late? Should I get mine changed before anything s***s its pants? As currently it seems okay, touch wood.

Since owning I have already done 2 oil changes (as I believe regular oil changes is the key to engine durability) however it may be too late already?

Thanks in advance
Sorry for late reply.
