Replacing the seals behind the timing case requires disturbing the front portion of the head gaskets, I decided to just go through with a complete clean up of the timing system and take heads are off.
Bore looks good... apart from sucking out any carbon bit's I'm staying well away from that area.
Of most interest was the guide rails, whilst not heavily worn I wouldn't have expected the clips on the upper rails to be split, or any areas that were worn through on the rails.

Left rail, worn through a little at the base there, Makes you wonder what extended intervals on minerals would do to this engine!. I can see some wear on the load side of crank and cam sprockets,very little on the idler.
Couple of shot's inside...amg cast into the underside of the piston,weights added to the crank for proper balance.
Other parts to be replaced will be the tensioner(didnt hold oil well) and the oil pump check valve,which had drained dry.
