Does anyone have the Timesert kit 5553 that they can loan out?

Found a local shop that actually has the kit.
It was missing the oil and the actual time-sert.
I was quoted $165 labor. I'm supplying the parts.

So you can’t do the Timesert without removing the coil cover. Tools aren’t long enough. Total bill was $580
Car is running again.
Next, I think it will need an alternator soon.

Do you mean, without removing the cam/valve cover? I just ejected a plug on the passenger side and the less I have to figure out the hard way the happier I'll be
