mine keeps jumping timing at 750hr getting ready to replace chain and tensioner. Thankfully nothing crazy just jumps 1 tooth or so and we have to keep putting it in timing over and over. No bent valves got lucky I guess.506 hours over 10 seasons before one suffered a timing chain break leading to both engines being replaced. Now the remaining oem engine is a spare sitting in my garage. Both my Waverunners have the latest version of the 1.8 engine.
If you know / suspect your timing chain going to break I recommend that you replace it immediately. The quote to fix the engine with the broken timing chain was around $2,500, $5,000 to replace all the pistons (to do a complete top end rebuild as well). You can save some money by stripping the engine down before taking it to the shop. $170 per hour is the shop rate here in NCal, at least it was about a year ago.mine keeps jumping timing at 750hr getting ready to replace chain and tensioner.
