I had the timing chain replaced as part of the cold start chatter repair, do I need to go easy on the car or do I drive it like i stole it

 

i would not expect that repair to warrant any type of break-in period.

by the way, if one steals a car does one drive gently and unobtrusively, so as not to draw undue notice? i've never tried car theft myself...

hammer time

 

I wouldn't worry about it. Go on driving like you usually do

 

Should be no worries. Test it out to it's fullest! Happy Motoring!
