Lower timing chain skipped a tooth on the upper right (when looking at the engine from the left) gear. Dealership quoted $3600 to fix! I decided that I would do it myself and a complete rebuild seemed like a good idea seeing as I had to practically take the whole thing apart to fix it.

It took me a lot longer than I expected to fix the bugger, but it seems to be running really well now. My brakes do feel a little different (but I also worked on those while I was at it) - thanks for the info.

Now I have to get used to less power - I have gotten used to a 300hp STS and 340+ hp WS6 :(
