timing chain

hey i have a 97 chevy cavalier rs 2.2 and it has 112,000 miles on it. i was wondering if any body knew how long does the timing chain last before you need to replace it?

theres no set time span for how long a time chain last...depends how the previous ppl drove the car...it could last you another 50,000miles or another 5miles...theres no way of knowing

FWIW I got rid of a 1993 2.2 OHV Cav with the original timing chain at 150,000 miles. Was well maintained though.

The 2.2 isn't an interference engine is it?

ya the 2.2 is...if it goes so does the rest sad to say
