Its the oil return issues that takes some extra work..
Btw if you have accident and its not engineeered ....
GOOD LUCK !!! Atleast spend the $400 or so and get it engineered...

Valued Contributor: For members whose non technical contributions are worthy of recognition. - Issue reason: Jim has consistently for some time now shared his life, and his passions in his XY GT and more so his FG GT in a way so everyone here feels part of the journey, which helps make AFF such a worthwhile place to be. An outstanding contributor in my book.
