Is it necessary to change the actual timing chain itself? I have all the gaskets, the tensioner, tensioner shoe and guides, can the chain be re-used? or is it likely worn at 163,000kms? I anyone who has done it did you change the chain?

Yes officer I knew the speed limit was 50

if your going to tear it down to that point then change it for crying out loud. Then no worries, dont reuse it if you take it off.
