Great work MJ
Good to see my car's twin getting some attention
I need to arrange to get mine down to you some time in the near future for a bit of TLC and a few relatively minor jobs, but mainly for the tensioner pads, even though I have no start-up rattle .... yet! (130K miles). In my ten years of ownership I have always changed the oil far more frequently than is necessary though ... I mean obsessively frequently. Whenever it goes into the garage for anything, I usually ask them to drop the oil again. So sometimes it'll get 3 or more oil changes in a year, even though I'm averaging at just 5K-6K miles annually. I wonder if that's helped the tensioner seals to last a bit longer?

If there's any risk that new ones are going to become NLA, please order some for mine. I'll pay you in advance for them.
