Yeah, I have 178k on it. It really needs chain guides too I'm sure. Hoping the tensioners buy me some time before I have to go that far. I'm starting to plan for a replacement engine, or just getting an S at some point. Haha.
I have read both recomendations on locking the cams. I figure its worth the peice of the mind. The tools are easy to make and the cam plugs are cheap, relatively speaking.
I've seen chains stretch first hand. The chain in my Rubicon was stretched a good bit after 200K. Very noticeable side by side with a new one.
