And lastly have you had any problems with your mod since your last post?
Hey sorry haven't posted much recently, work and life has been busy. Yes the high vacuum is something I want to work out eventually. As of now the cars that I've done this to have been running perfectly. Haven't had any issues at all, no oil burning, idle problems, or gasket issues. If anything new develops or I come up with a new mod to solve the high vacuum I'll let everyone know. Glad to hear that the mod helped you out!
