| No, they aren't. This was one of the things I pointed out to the dealer. Car serviced by them, on schedule, every year. If they are for 'life', then that should be longer than the written service sch ... |

| Yes - the three chains, all the tensioners and guides, the four VVT sprockets, the four VVT solenoids, the three timing chain covers, the crank gear (and broken A/C pipe and coolant pipe). |
