A shop's invoice:

Found valve cover gasket leaking, R&R air intake tube and valve cover gasket, to replace valve cover.
Also found timing chain stretched to max-spec. Customer declined to repair.

(I did not ask about timing chain or cam gasket, but they themselves inspected it and even replaced valve gasket without calling me.)



Now I just recived phone call from another mechanic. In this case, I told the mechanic to inspect timing chain. He said the stretch is less than 1 degree.

Shall I have the timing chain inspected by another mechanic?
