When to change timing Chain?

Hello all,

I have to replace my timing cover gasket and was wondering if I should change my timing chain.

I have a 91 gt, 5 speed about 175kms and pretty near stock.

Thanks,

Fairlee

Wouldn't hurt to change it while you have the cover off, especially with the higher mileage.

It wouldn't make sense not to. my77's recommendation of the cloye's doulble roller is one of the better one's you can buy.
