I think mine cost $95. The timing chain tensioner on the drivers side of the engine can be easily removed to check. The tensioner extends to take up the slop and can be measured to determine if the chain stretch is still within acceptable limits. The max is 11mm. Mine measured 15mm at 120k miles and I just had it replaced during some head work.
if your pulling the engine you may as well replace the chain guides too - the lower guides can't be done w/out removing t.c. cover.
