None of those quotes were so far out of line that they could be considered outright rip-offs. $800 for timing chain work probably isn't all that bad. But whatever you can do yourself, you should do. It's the skill that costs you. And oh so often, you're not paying for skill, you're just paying for someone who's willing to take a shot at it. So if you're willing to take a shot at it, you're probably better off. Your finger nails will look like hell for a while, but you'll save a lot of money.
Get a second opinion, and maybe a third. Shop around. And fix what you can in the meantime. One of the best things you can do is learn what's really wrong. If all that stuff needs to be replaced, then you'd better get it done or pass it on to someone else. But first, you need to find out what really needs to be done.
For what it's worth, link to my site is below.
