    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    you could be right there, I know my oil filter canister thing is sitting far more rotated to the right now as dead center it was still too loose, next oil change i might look at going to a proper filter instead of these paper insert POS things the z18xe in my car came with.

    Anyone done the conversion before?

    Also still have the oil sound around the cams making it sound like a diesel, but im not dropping any oil from what i can tell. Been a month since the oil change and the oil level is still perfect.

    Lastly a nasty rattle is still present under load, it sounds like a pully is rattling somewhere but dissipates after about 4k rpm.
