I think i'm going to do mine soon since i'm about to put in a new water pump. Was there a concensus as to the best timing chain to get?

I just got the Cloyes stock replacement for mine.

When I broke the crankshaft bolt free I used the girlfriend to hold a pry bar against the transmission housing and a tooth on the flywheel. You have to remove the starter and the inspection cover if you do that.
