Easy job you will smash it in a few hours worst part is the balancer. Most cam install DIY write ups will get you to where u need to be.

It's not too bad man, hardest part is putting the balancer on and off the crank man, if you're handy with a hammer, you'll be sweet.

Have seen far less problems with the genuine pumps than meiling, you can just take yours out and replace the spring and seat or just clean it out.
