Drove about 450 miles last weekend to check out this 2007 SS/SC w/160k mi. When choosing a donor I wanted to ensure I had a mechanically decent car at a decent price, as I didn't want to dive into the engine. Well the interior and exterior are pretty much POS status, but I felt like the car ran very smooth. Only maintenance work this owner had done was a used transmission swap w/ 70k miles, a new clutch, and aem fuel pump. Didn't have any history from the previous owner he bought the car from @140k miles. I bought it for $2800, and drove it home 450 miles with no issues. Ran smooth.
My question to everyone now though is what preventative maintenance should I get done while the engine is out? I don't hear any timing chain rattle and I would think the chain would have been replaced at some point by now, but do I just do it anyways?
