Maybe I should just replace this part and the cam timing part as well? Is the VCT thingy hard to get off and back on? I see that he has a picture of one in his hand. Then again his pictures scare me..lol

Darryl: what are you planning on doing to the motor? New cams, bottom end, definitely head work I hope? I would be porting like mad while the head is off.
