What are your goals for the car?

I agree with David and Yaofeng--there's a ton of info on the BB if you decide to do it.
But you got 240k out of the engine, probably without a timing chain replacement! Congratulations!
But I ask about the goals for the car because that can affect how you view this repair. Are you trying to keep the car for another 4 years (300k)? Is it your daily driver? Is it your winter "beater" car? Can you afford to have the car spontaneously junk your motor (meaning timing chain is cheaper than new engine)?
However, for me, it almost always makes sense to do preventive maintenance rather than reactive maintenance. Breakdowns always seem to happen at the most incovenient times.
Good luck.
