Anything been replaced lately? With 131K I would certainly replace the timing chain set and lifters. Chain gears will be worn/stretched, lifters may be too weak for the new springs? Why take the chance of having to tear it all apart again for a $200 part?

Maybe also want to think about a water pump ( or switch to an electric one ), and a new opti or at least cap and rotor.

Might as well do it since you have then off anyway.
