Does the 3.5 EB timing change stretch affect ALL EB's?

I'm at 97K with no timing chain noise so far either. My oil changes are all at the deal with the synth blend. I've owned it since 43K.

On a side note, what is the recommended replacement interval for on of these timing chains? Go till it's a problem? Has anyone replaced their as preventative maintenance?

I would go until it has problems. It is an expensive replacement.

112k on my '12 EB. Did the timing chain myself at 103k. It rattled starting around 80k and got worse to where it was going into limp mode constantly.
