Is your kdp still in place?

It has happened to other people also. No one has figured out why.

Check your camshaft. Most of the time when the gear goes threw the case. It will break the camshaft.

Now for the worse news. If the camshaft is broken. It most likely has bent every valve in the cylinder head.

So do some checking of the camshaft. If it is broken it will come in cheaper to find a running VE engine used.


It kind of looks like this pic I bet.

Im sure that the gears are heat treated, but after so many miles lots of things can happen. This is the first time I have heard about it.
