So I have a 2005 VZ one tonner with a stuffed engine and have just found a donor sedan (late 2004) with the right engine (10HBA) to go into it. The sedan engine has 210k mileage on it, starts and runs sweet as, no timing chain rattles from cold or anything. Service book shows it has had all its previous services carried out and the previous owner said he always ran synthetic oil in it. Should I do the timing chains on it now when the motor is out or just throw it in? I did hear that the early Alloytec engines didn't have as many problems as the 2006 and later engines. Is that correct or are all the timing chains in these engines just shite? Thanks
