...blowing a timing chain

I have never heard of an OM603 engine timing chain 'blowing' on this board.
You can measure chain wear, commonly called 'stretch' and replace the chain when required. As it wears, the timing retards until performance drops off. With the OM603 I suspect you could lose quite a bit of performance before it became something you would notice daily.
