First time a timing job went smooth instead of fighting me

Got a 2012 Chevy Equinox in Tuesday with a rattling chain, 148k on it. Replaced the timing chain and guides in about 4 hours, first time I didn't have to redo a tensioner bleed. Any of you guys notice these 2.4L engines get easier after the second or third one?

Hell yeah, second one is always way easier.

Wait, does that mean I've been doing it wrong this whole time?
