Parts are not that high unless you are replacing the cam gears. The intake ones are very expensive. But no need to replace unless there is an issue with them. Normally the noise is from the primary chain guide. The plastic on the guide falls down and the tensioner goes to full extension causing the noise. I have performed this repair and I would recommend replacing the plastic shoes on the secondary timing chain tensioners, secondary timing chains, primary chain, tensioner, , and guides. As for the labor It will probably take at least 6 hours. But follow the manual procedure to the letter. I do believe there is a TSB on the procedure for this repair. Warranty time is I do believe 4.5 hrs, but 100% sure. I hope this helps somewhat. Time to do it will depend on condition and corrosion.
