No problem, hijacking is just a condition of interweb forums, it happens. Back on track, my stinger performance oil feed and drainback lines arrived yesterday. With these in hand there isn't much standing in the way of re-assembly. Funny thing, I've done all this work on a car, I've only driven abou...
