If you look at the cooling section on the Townsend site, there is a concern expressed that overheating the motor can cause the plastic timing chain guides to melt. Townsend says to replace all the plastic guides if the engine overheats.
I wonder if there was an overheat during the 46K miles you didn't own the car. If you have service records, I would be curious to see if there was a thermostate replacement.
