Thanks for the input guys. Although I think the best route to go is removing the engine and replacing all the timing components now, I'm not quite prepared to take on such a task and I have a lot of other priorities on my to-do list.
Who knows, the timing components could last quite a while longer (but I'm not counting on that). In the mean time, I'll work on having a contingency plan for when things do go bad.
As for right now, I'm going to replace the main timing chain, gears, tensioner and guide and put her back together. I will report back with results.
Thank you again for all the help, I wouldn't have gotten this far without it.
