Just finished my first timing chain replacement, a few leaks up front to get to yet.

Love driving this thing, getting more used to wrenching on it too! I'm a shade tree guy used to working on 1970-->1980s pick-up truck and V8s. This isn't much different - just tons more wires, and plastic covers hiding all the motor goodies.

Also _ found tons of great advice and info on this site. So far it's been my number one source to lurk for info and repairs. You guys rock! Thanks for all the knowledge so far!
