Heres one for ya, when changing out a VP44, after you take off the nut that holds the shaft through the timing gear, make sure you get off the lockwasher. If not, when you slip the VP44 out, the lockwasher will fall off into your timing cover. If this happens you will have to take off fan, shroud, timing cover, etc. This will take you most of the day to fix, from personal experience. I know it should be commoin sense to remove all washers, but you cannot see that washer when its on there so you dont know to remove it.
