Scary!
But the theories are that the chain would never need replacement,, and that if you can afford a big euro v engine, that you can afford the maintenance, no?
A belt would put be easier in those situations, would it?
Same [censored] has come off to reach that area to do a timing belt.
I'll take a chain over a belt all day, every day. I would expect 3x the life minimum from a proper timing chain.
