Timing chain has already been done. Clutch and brakes? :aintcare: shocks? Same. Cooling system, same.

It’s a 17 year old thing with 160k. These are things I’d expect to address if I were spending the money on it. They’re. All. Maintenance. Items.
So someone did the chain but didn't fix the valve cover leaks ? :wtf: :wat: that's a huge headache gone though... all other items combined cost less than 1 timing chain job.
I can explain that in a heart beat.

"I'll reuse the gaskets, it didn't leak before!"
