If you mean the chain that links the 2 cams, there is no interval, if it is noisey then change it, if not then leave it.

As regards to the timing belt, I would (just to be on the safe side) recommend replacing it and the tensioner if you are at all unsure of when it was last done ....cheaper than a bu66ered head ...don't ya fink :wink:
