Timing chain?
I'm pretty sure the engine in this topic is a g13bb, not a m13a.

I wonder if a nice friendly garage will let you into their Autodata computer's info just for the head torqueing procedure and settings as the rest I think from your experience you'll work out as you go along.
Are you getting the head skimmed? At that mileage I think I would.
It's a testament to these twin cam units how good they are if they get to 178k miles before needing a new head gasket!

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
