[928uk] High Mileage Nervousness - Cam Chains

[marton hasenberg via 928uk]

I would expect (same as for those motors that use cam chains instead of 
cam belts) that you would get some noise from the chains before they get 
to a really bad state?

They claimed with my 5.0 Mustang that the cam chains would last at least 
400K Km and you would hear a lot of noise before they gave way.  Those 
chains would likely have more stress than the 928's?

Mit freundlichen Grüssen/ with best wishes
