Just a theory here but.......If your source of iron IS timing chain
wear
could it make any sense at all that the longer you run it the less it
wears
until the point of failure?
No. The tension doesn't go down 'cause there is a tensioner in there.
Wear _accelerates_, because the rollers no longer match the gear
tooth spacing, and the hogged out holes in the rollers have more
point pressure on the pins they spin on.
