The dealer is honestly your best bet. $140 is what mine cost. If your old one lasted this long why not replace it with the same thing

as far as I know the old one is perfectly find and would prob last the life of the engine. but I'm taking the cover off anyway. I might as well change that stuff since I'll be looking at it.

I'd trust a melling part to last as long as a mopar one. abd the melling sets are $38 on summit.

Not bad actually. I am looking to get one for the short block I have. Summit has been hit or miss with me so far as far as quality though
