That would be a great time to change the timing chain, go for a Cloyes Double Roller from rockauto.com, also water pumps are cheap, and no better time then now.

Also make sure none of your plug wires are up against #8 injector harness wires.

Dont forget to decarbon the engine.. clean/polish your intake ports really good if you can as well or let the soak cyl's soak with either Engine Tune by BMP or the actual Chrysler/Dodge Foaming Decarboniser.. follow the directions in the TSB or on the can closly and have your cat checked.

I will be ordering the Hughes V8 MAGNUM PLENUM REPAIR KIT soon. Hopefully this will fix my #8 misfire issues. I also read that it is a good idea to replace the O2 sensors as well if I have a bad plenum.
Yup, good time to replace the front O2. Also good time do to something with the catalytic converter as it's most likely clogged.
