Get it out of the back of your head and put it in the front of your head where the thinking happens. Your timing chain will not break without giving you at least ten thousand miles of noisy warning. If it does, I personally volunteer to install the replacement chain provided you can show receipts for oil changes.
Now go worry about something worth worrying about.
