This is the one thing I wish I would of known about befor I bought a 12v. Mine has already fell out and blew the side of the timing housing out. Had no money when this happened. Jb welded it the best I could. Now I am ready to replace it but not spend the $600 to get it done or wait for the down time. Just trying to see how hard it is to replace this thing. From what I have read it is going to be a pain. Wanting to get some input on if it is worth paying the $600

you got to take the injector pump off?? And what does the wooden dowels do

 

Well worth $600. Watch the vid - its a big job.

 

only reason i might want to do it is so i can help other friends do it but ill prolly just pay the 600
