No problem Cody. I'm glad I could help...

The engine was in remarkable shape. With that mileage, the guides were literally only in 2 pieces, both retrieveable. There weren't even any chips that could have fallen into the oil pan.

Here's a few pics I shot after getting the cover off.

Yea, I'm very happy now. I can drive without worrying. I've had the car a year and just now got it done. And yes hopefully another 200k miles...

Great job guys.

I think that is a record for old style guides not cratering and taking out the engine, although it may have only been a crank away on this one.

Yea we suspect that's not the original engine? I've been driving the Q very light since I've had it and only put about 1,000 miles on it.
