Go Greased Lightning

[cyrano]

So my CV Boots are cracked, and one of them is throwing grease. Gary at Hopkins Honda recommends that I deal with this problem within a week, to avoid serious problems. He also thinks I'm in the window of appropriateness to replace the timing chain. I think I'll try to keep working six or seven days a week for a while, and see if I can stay caught up.
Movie crew was good last night--maybe too much movie quoting for the sake of movie quoting, and the conversation was no afternoon salon, but very relaxing and friendly and I wish I hadn't stayed out so late but I survived well. And it was nice to meet new people.
Now it is time to pack, so I can leave tomorrow for LA.

What I was told: in re timing chains

Apparently in order to get to the timing chain to inspect it and see if it needs replacement, one needs to go through almost as much labor as one would spend to replace the thing outright.
Dunno how much of that is true.

ohyeah. That's likely true. You might check usenet to see if there's a honda (or better yet del sol) discussion group. I found some good info on my Nissan there, and there were many discussions on timing chains, and for that car, anyway, the general concensus was that the timing chains were good for more like 150k.
