But I would say it should be good for one hundred thousand miles.
It all depends on how much abuse it has had too.
By then it should be getting some slack in it.

It's not a Honda with a drive belt. 
There really is not any recommendations on changing the timing chain. Obviously, any high mileage engine that is already torn down for engine work should have the timing set changed.
