Higher likely hood of issues after replacement if not done correctly (timing set properly, aligned properly or even sealed properly) might as well wait for it to fail and pull over/turn car off. Or go to a performance shop who does LT builds like Cordes since they get a lot of NM cars out in Tempe.

On side note, if you are doing oil pump proactively you should consider adding a cam at same time since front cover will be off.
I am very lucky to have an absolutely excellent tech at the dealer I take my car to. He has serviced it since day one, and has always done perfect work. I have 100% confidence he will do an excellent job.
