1989 Buick LeSabre 3.8L Timing Chain
Posted to GM Engine on 2/26/1998

Hello Group

I have a question on the average replacement interval for timing chain on this car. I know we have all seen many pre 88 3.8 chain/gear failures, but 3800 uses steel gears. How do you check chain slack, and whats acceptable?

This is wifes car-runs...
