Sure, you can do it. But it is a chain. You don't have to do it like a belt. It is designed to be maintenance free, like your crankshaft and cam shaft bearings. It was designed to not be replaced, unlike the belt in a Zetec.

Check out the maintenance schedule on here: http://www.genuineservice.com/genuineservi...fault?page=Home They don't even list timing chain on the 2005+ Focus as a replacement item in the schedule.

The only time I'd replace it would be at about 250,000 kms, and I was about to add boost. :D

Save your money and time, and buy something fun for the car... :lol:
