If it's blown? You will have to take it to a machine shop to have it checked, most of the time they are no good. I just had to replace mine. Shop around eBay is a good place to find parts. I got a great deal on a used one from a salvage, still had to take it in and had it checked and gone thru, made it like a new one. It works great, I saved hundreds.
