Excellent advice...
Pop your valve covers off and take a look at your plastic guides when you check for chain stretch. If they're still white-ish and you have minimal stretch, you *may* not need a new a chain.
However, if one were to place importance on engine parts (as far as keeping the engine from being ruined), the timing chain would be at the top, followed by the oil pump.
