They are fun, and normally get knackered by oil from leaking rocker cover, done three now, so used sealant all around seams, and most importantly on where the little braided motor wire goes in from the solenoid, as this soaks up oil down this wire like a wick!!
The hardest bit is the driveshaft support in the way.
