rediranch; sorry to hear that you chickened out, but don't feel bad. The important part is that you worked within your comfort zone, and that's crucial. At least it's done, right.

Cousin_Fred; $1300 may be just about what the going rate is. With his estimate, you should be able to tell how much is parts vs. labor. It's been a while since I have done one, so I don't remember what the parts for that job cost. I do know that it is an expensive repair, and that is why so many opt out of it for such an old vehicle. For the time being noise will be your main concern, but like rediranch stated it will eventually lead to the chain possibly breaking. The noise you hear is the slack and rattling against what chain guides you have left. Either way it's not good for the engine.
