Noisy engine on startup - timing chains?

[Elmura]

Hello Kaine
I just replaced my chains about 2 weeks ago.
I also replaced the high pressure fuel pump (expensive). I would be happy to answer questions you might have assuming your is a BWS engine

Hi. My CC BWS MY12 is at 130K kms without the noisey chain drama so I'm hoping it stays that way. But in case it does, what's it worth?

I got the chain kit for around $400 from Tooley imports. It came with chains guides and tensioners. I also got a rocker cover gasket from Imparts $85 I think then hire the timing plate for $58 One week rental.
The rest was heaps of labour, mine is an all wheel drive and getting drive shaft bolts to pull the powertrain out was hectic.
The whole job took 2 weeks but the actual work done to pull out powertrain and replace chains is probably 20hr (2.5) days. My car had a lot of issues including a smashed up radiator panel. I also did front suspension bushes.
