Question is whether it is worthwhile to have a spare RCM on hand, and whether I should stockpile any others in order to minimize down time/getting stranded. And also which retailer is recommended for these parts?
In case you want to remove the Crank Position Sensor and find out, here's a post I did when I replaced mine.
There are a lot of detailed pictures and explanations.
The post is in 2 parts because of pictures limited to 10 per post. I hope this is helpful.
