If you are going to use this to change the phasers I would not bother.

Because if I was changing the phasers I would go all out and change everything. A bad tensioner gasket could have cause the phaser to go bad.

The theory is the that bad/ low oil pressure kills the phasers. Just changing the phaser doesn't fix the problem
