Might want to hit up a search on that one.. its one of the most hit topics.. its not hard, and im sure there isa DIY on one of the boards.. also dont run a BOV you will get flamed to high heaven for that.. it should only take an hour at most to change the DV for a first timer.. when you take you stock one out make sure you note how it came off so you can put the new one in the same way..

in order to do it right, the bentley manual shows it as a 3-step process:
1. take off old one
2. put on new one
3. keep it real
the 4th step: "4. break 'em off a lil' somethin'-somethin" is optional and completely up to you.

Its not in my nature to flame, so I try to be creative (plus I am too new here to be a jerk.)

The TB procedure is of course much more complicated, ending with a tipped 40 for fallen homies.

You mean a tipped 40 for thefailed TB tensioners?
I think the first step in the TB procedure starts out with "puff-puff give"

Here is the location of the DV circled in yellow. The picture was taken when I replaced my t-belt, thermostat, water pump, tensioner piston, tensioner pulley, and serpentine belt.

any pics of puff-puff-give?

on a serious note, to help out a serviceman, you will need to at least take the belly pan off. of course the best time to do it is when you have it either all cracked open or at least in service position (= front bumper off) as in the post above. at the very least put it up on stands and take the belly pan off.
