They'll tell me what they intend first, and a cost, but I'm pretty sure it will involve the vario-cam pads needing to be replaced, and possibly some replacement or adjustments to timing chains. I'll also be asking about the clutch and IMS bearing, and probably replace the crap cats, if they're going to be dropping the engine to do this stuff. I haven't had any issues with the clutch, but again, if they're dropping the engine, I might as well think about those things. I've had the car for 4 1/2 years and 50,000 miles (it has 143,000 on it now), and I don't think the IMS was ever upgraded on it.
By the time this stuff is done, I'm sure I will have paid as much in work (specially with the new paint job I just got -- Murphy, right?) in 2020 as the car is worth, but still cheaper than buying a new car.
