those engines are the 3.5 liter DOHC head with VVT, aka the M272. This is the more luddite version of that its the 3.2 liter M112.. its a simple SOHC design and it has no reported balancer gear failure even after intergalactic mileage.
Its been 20,000 miles since this video and in about another half year or so Im going to pull the drivetrain out and do this job (free time).
Those M272 are so finicky you cannot even undo the valve covers without prepping it as they are also doing the job of the camshaft bearing caps.
