I bought mine @ 68k miles, by 70 it was leaking coolant. Found out the head bolts were loose, one I spun out with my fingers, should have been re-torqued a while ago. I decided at that time to replace the head gasket, have the head checked, out etc. My chain was very close to max spec...12-13mm? (If I recall correctly the spec is 14?) At any rate, I decided to replace the chain, guides, seals, exhaust studs (one was cracked) etc. Did it all in my garage, on jack stands.
Getting the chain cover out was an adventure, you need to stick your tongue out at the exact angle, squint, and grunt 3 times, but it does come out :)
