Geez! 221k without checking the timing chain? That's a loooonng time on one TC - I think.

I did notice how it got quieter as it warmed up.. I;m going to pick it up tomorrow - then I can go thru everything and see what I have. The seller is going to get the records together - and this is a good time for Rusty to be having a sale on maintanence stuff! I'll probably do the trans filter kit and then put Mobil 1 ATF in-- I'll put ~3000 miles on the oil that was changed early this month and then go with M1.

Thanks for all the great info (this is directed at you and the others who responded) - it;s great to have a resource like this at my fingertips!

Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)

Yes, Larry - no valve periodic adjustments needed.  The down side is that
you don't get the "free look" at the timing chain as you would on a 617! In
my case, the valve cover hasn't been off in 221k miles!

Howdy -
Does this model have hydraulic / self-adjusting valves?
