JimB. Thanks for your reply, but please note that the "..PO had timing chain, guides & tensioner DONE @103K in 2000".

I'm wondering if I'm being paranoid in thinking that I should get the entire top end redone at 180K vs. spending a lot of $ I don't have to prematurely...

Mostly looking for the ballpark $ figures for

(A) timing chain, guides & tensioner service at 180K $?
vs.
(B) topend rebuild of heads, etc. $?
vs.
(C) just waiting until 200K (RISK factor vs. $?)

Thank you, again, for your most prompt reply.

Cheers!

p.s. I did read your mbcoupes.com & all relevant search threads on "timing chain" (over 250 postings!), "head gaskets", "head rebuild", etc.
