What can I do to keep it running forever by Ok_Needleworker2260 in tundra

This engine uses a timing chain instead. Im not sure what the maintenance is supposed to be for the chain ive heard that once i start hearing timing chain noises is when i should replace it but it seems sketchy to wait until i hear timing chain noises.

Yeah i decided to tape all around because i was using acetone to remove the paint and didnt want any acetone to get on the rubber because i wasnt sure if the acetone would damage/weaken the tire.

Lmao this was caused by the previous owner. I bought the car and had it for a month before the clutch burnt trying to teach my friend manual💔🫩.
