'92 Q45 in Southern CA. Needs Timing Chain Guides Done.

[ShortSeason]

Time to inherit the folks '92 Q. Only 50k on the clock. She lived in their So Cal garage since she was born. 100% hwy miles. Infinty has done 100% of the maintenance.

I don't think the guides have ever been done. I will check the maintenance records.

Any one know of a good shop in So Cal to get this done? I will would take her to the dealer, but I am sure that would drop some serious $. I will pay the $ to have it done right, but if there is a better shop that will do it for less...

I have been reading through all your threads... thank you dedicated members for all the info. I am sure, I will be spending $ with some of you (tower brace, chip, etc.).

Thanks!

Sounds like a real gem of a Q... we need pictures!

Ditto on what Brian said about using Jerry Tucker... I would take care of that before taking it home to MN.

Thanks much for the help.

Get the Oil pump chain (tensioner?) and front seal also.

No offense, but I hope you keep it off the MN roads when it is a salt bath.

Those two parts must be missing from the Tech Page list? I will add them to my list.

NO SALT! and NO offense. I have heated storage for this baby. Summer use only.

Thanks!
