You probably have a lot of play in the timing chains, not a bad idea to change. A lot of work. Be sure you check cam timing before you pull off chains, make sure you didn't slip a tooth on one of the cams. As far as the intake gaskets, you can spray old ones for leaks. If your going to swap out intake gaskets, you'll want to replace plastic intake, they give way. Good luck , you really like digging into this one. Plastic cam tensioners will have to be replaced as well with over 200 k.

Congrats on new baby. If it's a boy you can teach about cars! If a girl maybe she'll like wrenching too!

True. Second baby girl. My other is 2. Traded a 97 k1500 for the expedition so I wouldn't have to fight to get 2 car seats in

Girls like cars sometimes. Well they love driving them at least. With all the great gloves for auto work, they can keep their hands clean at least. Hell I use them these days. Congrats again, Moose!
