I second the motion. Retorquing my head stopped an oil leak I had on my 93CSET (evident around the oil filter area). I now regularly (like every 5K miles) remove the valve cover and retorque, to ensure the bolts stay tight and to keep maximum pressure on the headgasket. Not sure if this will stop an external coolant leak.
I still have the original chains/sprockets (258K miles), they are tight, and there is no noise. The 93s should not have the same problem as the 91-92. I know I have run the piss out of my car at times (original owner), however, with yours being an Aero, the stress is even greater.
