Timing the engine isn't too hard. It does require a timing kit you can rent from O'Rielly's. Only thing is you have to pull the engine to reach the rear two chains. At 182,000 I'd look into replacing the timing chains, sprockets, guilds and tensioners. There are a couple of oil ports that work with the tensioners and this may be why the oil change made a difference. Pull them apart and make sure they are not particially blocked. There is a really good video on YouTube made by a company that makes a great timing chain kit.. Look for it.
