Default Cam Adjustor

I've had a problem for over a year now with a Cam Chain tensioner/ Cam Adjustor. I've finally decided to bite the bullet and get it fixed at a price of over $1200 (over 700 just for the part) Is this an average price for this fix?

Yeah thats the average shops repair price. I wrote up a DIY if you want to try changing out it yourself.
