Does the owner's manual say anything about cam chain maintenance? Does the factory service manual offer any cam chain maintenance information?

In the case of the SR20, there is nothing about cam chain replacement intervals because the chain is expected to last the life of the engine. Quite a few SR20s are over 200,000 miles on the original chain. I can think of only one SE-R owner in the past four years who had a cam chain break.

I'll wager you will find the same life expectation for the GA16 cam chain.
