I dont disagree with the ihuh of getting the car inspected, however i am a quite handy DIYer. I found the harmonic balancer job not too hard on my 89 once i got the hang of it.

So... Guides and tensioner huh.. Full timing cover top to bottom must come off?

If this became a money pit id just sell it before i spend to much on it.
If the oil pressure is at 1 when you are at idle, it's ok. While driving is no good.

To replace the guides is not a big deal. To get the crumbled bits out of the bottom of the oil pan; engine must be lifted or pulled to be able to remove the oil pan.
