so, is this something i can check myself or best left for dealer/ local servicing shop?

i have 103K miles on my 09... about 70% of that is highway miles.

When you do it you will have to remove somw other parts and have to regasket it yourself. Do you have experience with verifying timing chains and general mechanical engine maintenance past oil and plugs?
