What is your question?
I had my motor mounts replaced a few weeks ago and then last weekend my car started making noise under the hood. My mechanic said I need to replace the timing chain. I was wondering if the motor mount replacement and the timing chain failure are related.

Not typically. Chain is inside engine-- Mounts are ....outside...... How many miles on it? IF mounts were bad enough that the engine was vibrating and causing noise , possibly the chain noise was being covered by that?? OR pardon the pun , but bad 'timing' on the noticing the noise?
There is 115,000 miles on the car. After I got the motor mounts redone and the noise in the engine was the same as it was prior to the motor mounts being replaced. I replaced the motor mounts as a preventative measure. They hadn't failed, but the mechanic said it was time to have them replaced.
"the noise in the engine was the same as it was prior to the motor mounts being replaced" They are 2 entirely different problems , however , I would ask for a WRITTEN guarantee for the 'noise' diagnosis , make sure ALL needed components are replaced while it's apart!
