You never know what may have fallen in there during the repair process. Dirt, grease chunks, bits of old gasket material, also keep an eye on coolant level for the next few weeks. Glad your car runs well, did you get all the hoses replaced? Guess the timing chain checked out OK.
Just crawled out from under mine, tightened clamps on sport exhaust, retorqued SAS bar, shortened the lines to the MBC and properly secured it (looks factory), installed a zip tie on the vac line hose from the turbo, new lower idler pulley, resecured and insulated the pipe from the turbo to the IC. Time - 2 1/2 hours, wonder what my mechanic would have charged me. 68 degrees, but to ugly to go sailing, too wet for mountain biking, not enough wind for windsurfing. Better than TV. Car is much quieter now, less turbo whine and less exhaust noise.
Next DIY project - rear brakes/rotors, trans switch/flush to Saab synthetic, have had the parts for six months now...February - in the indies shop for clutch, rear seal, T.O. Bearing, shift collar, output shaft seal. That should end my oil leaks, and that smoke and smell at red lights from the oil dripping on the exhaust...maybe I will see 150k after all.
