Pending timing chain failure signs include rattling or knocking noises from the engine on startup, rough idling, misfires, reduced power, check engine light with camshaft or crankshaft error codes, or metal shavings in the oil. A mechanic can confirm the timing chain condition with a visual chain-timing inspection, diagnostic scans, and performance tests. Regular oil inspections can help spot timing chain issues early.
