Looking to do a 6k mile road trip with my M42, that in the past has worked flawlessly and I've put over 100k on the engine in my 5 year ownership. I'm looking to see what are the best ways I can look into the health of the motor without actually opening it up. I know simple things like cylinder psi test, but are there ways to look into the life of the timing components? I remember seeing a tiny piece of a timing component when I changed out my oil pan probably 10k ago, but no additional pieces have shown up during oil changes. I get chain rattle on start up for about 2-4 seconds but it goes away, tensioner is overdue I believe.
Anything else?
