I plan on changing all fluids before I drive it with MB stock. I did not hear any chain slap; but what does it sound like? I did notice that the power steering pump was not quiet while making hard turns.

Do the chains typically go at only 120,00mi? Also, in regards to a valve job; do you mean a full regrinding, relapping, or just a relashing? Do you only need to replace vavle stem seals if the car consumes oil?

Thanks a lot...
