Also, if you're into your engine that far, there's just no reason not to replace it. Along with the chain and guides. And possibly oil pump, water pump...

But yeah, they don't have grooves in them when they're new.

Seriously? You're going to be "that guy"? Ok. Are you at least going to replace the guides?
