i can tell from here that at 154K the stock chain is worn out.
below is a pic of mine at 125K.
i recommend a simple oem replacement from cloyes for about $40 at any local parts store.
don't forget the timing cover gasket kit which includes the front crank seal.
---here's why: its good enough to outlast the water pump and front seal that you put in, and you'll want to replace the timing chain with each new water pump anyway.
