Thanks for the insight. I knew it had to have been done. Mine is a 2.5, going back with a 2.5.

The Vario-cam wear pads are a good idea, as well as a lower temp thermostat. Not sure if i can find the S Oil Cooler unless Pelican has it, or if a different one can go onto a 2.5.

I am hoping with just 41K on the motor that most things are in good shape. From the pics I have seen it looks as though it is.

I have replaced the Expansion Tank and modified it to make it easier for removal in the future if that ever needs to happen.

Since I have a motor that is locked up I can use that one as my experimental to see just how things come off...LOL
