Inline motors have VERY low wear and the Diesels all have dual row chains. I'd be more concerned about the upper rail and the tensioner than anything. If the chain is around 4° stretched, then I'd probably go ahead and swap it.
Also, LS400 gets a thumbs down from me to work on. I'd skip that at all costs. My old lady has one and I hate it. Even the simple oil change drives me to drinking (not anymore since the funnel was invented!
