Default 160 000 km should I change timing chain?

I just purchased a used engine with 160 000 km on it and no records or tests done on the engine for $1000 and I am wondering if the timing chain should be changed now to prevent future destruction of the engine.

My previous engine went within 2 weeks of owning my ti with no clue except a broken oil pan and the sound of my timing chain crumbling away moments before my engine shut off forever...

Does anybody have any other advice as for what to tune up on the engine to prevent bigger future problems?
