I bought a clymer manual and installed a new cylinder, piston, timing chain, and cam all in about 4 hours. And it was first time ever getting into motor. If i was you I'd study up on it and do it yourself.

well im in south jersey in atlantic county about half an hour in land from atlantic city. i would get the number of the guy but the dealer has mmi trained technicians too. and pismolocal have u had any problems with the kit yet, and what kind of tools do i need to do it myself because i've been questioning whether i should do it myself or let someone else do it.

i said that just because sometimes it will make ppl a little more at ease. i would recommend his work any day though.
