IIRC, it took about a week from when payment was sent, and all duties were covered in the shipping price.... or at least *I* didn't receive a bill from anyone. I have ordered everything from dishes to bike parts to car parts from the UK and nothing has ever gone wrong (knocking on wood).

on edit:
Just looked through my ebay feedback. Payment sent 7/24 - sent feedback 8/2, so in hand 9 days including weekends.

I do have one of the Miller pins sitting here unused if anyone wants to make me a reasonable offer. I believe it's the exhaust pin, but I will have to check.

The Miller tool VM 1089 i think for locking the crankshaft a 90 after tdc is useless. The theads in block that you have to thread it in are rusty you can not turn it in by hand. There is no room to get a tap in there to clean threads. Hole is too close to block. Unless you weld a nut on end of it and put a wrench on it or grind down theads on tool to slide it in. I just used a drill bit the same size as tool. You can feel for hole in flywheel better with drill bit if it is off a little bit.

What i see is some good and bad advise here. If its your first TB change? Get someone to help show you the way. If you dont know what things should look like you may overlook somthing important. Most important....use the tools and take no short cuts! Follow the manual, thats why its available.

I'd agree on the usefulness or lack of same on the VM 1089 tool based on a couple of TB jobs. That said see the 05 FSM pg 9-243 for how to use an allen wrench in lieu of the VM tool. Ignore the instructions to raise and support the vehicle and remove the splash shield; it's tight in there but the hole is perfectly accessible by crawling underneath although a flashlight is handy. The FSM doesn't show it but there is some #/lettering on the block just below the hole between the 2 sort of triangular reinforcing tabs. Be sure to tap around the hole in the flywheel to confirm that you are inserting the allen wrench in a small hole in the flywheel not one of the large cutouts (the difference is obvious). A 6mm or a 1/4" hex key will do the trick.

I'd recommend an allen wrench rather than a drill bit as the angle on an allen wrench makes it easy to see if it's in there straight.

+1 on the allen wrench. There is also a timing mark on the crank hub up front that will get you in the ball park.

I use a allen and yes!!!! Use the Timing mark on the crank. 3:00 = 90deg past top dead center. If you use all the pins there would be no need to mark anything.
