The M102 does require chain replacement on a more regular basis.
Is that a twin-cam? I'd expect them to be more hard
Yeah, but the M103 goes through chains pretty fast -- single row chain.

chains will last. (Ignoring defective designs like

About $1600 to change timing chain ALL? GEARS; does engine have to be
