I didn't plan to do this but I had no choice, the 8-10k quote to get it fixed or new used engine was not an option for me.

Yes, I remember. Well It is indeed good idea to do all that while youre in there. Afterwords you will have one fresh engine If you can do all that job get a friend or 2 to help you with the timings and I believe it will not be hard. Keep us posted. Good luck
