Hi @djkaosone yes!...I'm just north of you in Oceanside. When I started researching this job I found your post. It has been very helpful, thanks for taking the time to document the process.
My original plan was to use the easy method to replace the tensioners and guides. After doing the full teardown I decided to invest the extra money and replace everything. Using a couple of vendors to save cash, I just ordered what Atlantic British has in their "Genuine Timing Chain Replacement Kit" + the gaskets it didn't include + new spark plugs + oil filter.
I'm a little apprehensive about the number of vacuum and coolant lines, the main serpentine belt, and the mountain of plastic parts that need to be reinstalled. I've read through the retiming process in the shop manual several times. I also purchased the full toolkit. I'm hoping everything goes back together smoothly.
Compared to the same repair on my D2, the LR4 seems to have way more spaghetti.
