$150 to buy the gaskets, pull off the front bumper, A/C condensor, radiator, intercooler, front of engine, injector pump, vacuum pump/power steer pump, pull the cam replace the housing, reassemble and re-time. That is what I call CHEAP labor 
You don't mind if I throw up the BS flag do you?

There is no need to remove that stuff for tabbing the KDP, correct. However, I was responding to the OP. Getting his gear case replaced for $150 ain't gonna happen. It is obvious that GCSS didn't read the whole post, and I didn't interpret the post of GCSS correctly.

Basically just wanted to put out the info that Jim J. can help prevent KDP carnage
Also, some people DO take off way too many items when working on some things.
No biggie....we all survived the little incident....time to move on.........

You're right, but count your blessings here. When I graduated high school and also had my own lawn care service, this is what I drove: (I never spent more than $100 on any repair)

quick fix
If your a perfectionist and care about your vehicle then please disregard my comments here. However, I bought a 12 valve and fixed the kdp immediatly. Only it was not there and I too had a cracked case. I needed to drive the truck and didn't have time to pull the gears to replace the case.
So against all of my intuition I filled the crack w/ jb weld, and put everything back together. 15k later it is still holding.
