What made you replace the AOS? Code or just a hunch? Was it a DIY job for you?

1128 code came up and i read up on aos. checked the suction seal at oil filler. so replaced the aos. suction better and code went away. but smoke is here now.

it's a pain to DIY. so i went to an indy i know personally. only took him 30-45 mins. but it would have taken me 2-3 hours. difficult to do unless you have the right pliers and a lift. still "do-able" though.
