I don't know how many people have had a timing chain break. My P11 maintenance manual says the timing chain is of short length and is not unduly affected by stretching. There is an old post on this site about the RMA automatic timing chain tensioner. Of course, it is non-conclusive other than there might have been a design change at some point that made the auto tensioner not the best idea. The early ones supposedly worked.STP is slippery stuff. Hard to hold onto the parts with numb fingers when tearing and engine apart that has been running with STP in it. Takes a while to clean it of too. I use a small amount of it in my oil.My rattling dry clutch and FCR slide rollers will probably drown out the improvement in the timing chain rattle with the rubberized standard adjuster. Just kidding. If it works at all I'll notice it.
