Should I replace the tensioner, rails, and chain, or just the chain, or what?
Thanks, Dave.

If your indy can do the timing chain for a good price and you have the cash, you should consider doing it and all the guides and rails. it is very good insurance. No way to determine if it will fail or not, just that it is potentially a distaster if it happens and it is more likely to happen to a car with that milage on it if it is the original chain. If you cant afford to fix it if it fails and you have the money to do the replacement now, i would condifer doing it at the right price if I were you. Sounds like his price might be reasonable to do the chain work.
