Has anyone had there's changed, and at what milage and at what cost?. Did the engine perform better after the install. Interference motor will be wiped out if it breaks. Any other thoughts. After reviewing the tech procedures for this job, its way out of my league for DIY. Has anyone out there had this done, any other tips or experiences???

Try doing it yourself then complain about the labor cost.
Hmmm, $4000 rebuilt engine...
