My motor has 119,000 miles on it. I would like to replace the cam chain guides. What are all the needed parts & apx. cost if I did the job ?

I assume you're referring to cam chain guides. Personally I wouldn't open the motor unless it has a problem, they will last at least another 100k.
Thanks to Darrin @ BC Automotive:
$1800 and it was worse than when he started!

If you change your oil every 3k-5k they would not need replacement.

MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.
Rest In Peace:

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
Good to know I need not be concerned. There is no problem & I do change the oil every 3000 to 5000 miles.

I love the smell of Nitromethane and rubber in the morning!

As I lay rubber down the street, I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide, please dear God protect my ride." -Amen
