This is largely based on classifying CO2 as an "emission" even though all the plants in the forest love the stuff.

Pretty soon the EPA will regulate how many breaths you can take in an hour, and...

Great question. I would like to know someone who has done this on an M96 engine also, to see if there are any negative effects.

Chain rattle at 3K - Do they all do it?

Let me start by saying that I have absolutely no chain rattle at start-up. I know that is a common problem, and there are many past posts on that issue.

You are in ASP now.

If you want low cost control arms, I think Vertex has reconditioned arms. I guess they replace the bushings in used TRW arms, but don't know for sure.

I use the standard EBS baffle for the OEM sump, with a 3 qt Accusump. To me the Accusump just seems like a more robust aid than a 1/2 qt extra sump capacity.
