I would recommend sourcing the parts yourself to save some money but get a tech/mechanic to install it. I messed up when I put the shaft 180 degrees backwards when I put everything back together.

Link to my post about installing the eccentric shaft. Just so you know, that was a 9 hour job with my father who builds engines. Our current project is putting a 6/71 Weilands supercharger on his 496 stroker big block. Should push around 1300hp afterwards. So this isn't a task for the mechanically handicapped. |
I read through your thread. Its very valuable info. I'm glad I didn't try it myself.
Did you get it fixed now? how bad was your rough idle before and after?
