Steve, appreciate all feedback, that's what makes this BB so great.
My situation:
- 106,00 miles
- previous owner drove hard. Might explain why auto tranny went. However he did put in new turbo.
- TC's been rattling for about 3-1/2 mths, now getting relatively loud but still short of a Cummins : )
Until the indy shop gets inside and see what the culprits are I won't know for sure what needs done. Maybe just a bad tensioner. Maybe only 1/2 of all components need replacing. But I'm with you on "while they're in there might as well" approach. BTW: the Cdn$3K quote applies to complete tc/guides/tensioners/head gasket R&R (FWIW Townsends list same job at US$1800, or about Cdn$2800).
I must say beyond the tranny (and TCS/ETS problems which are now all fixed) the car is still very sound in all other aspects, not having shown any of the common problems this BB covers).
