Thanks for the tips. I bought VNE from FCP, will report back if there is a premature failure. I did not have to remove the oil filter (just changed oil), a small hex ratchet fits no problem the issue is the throw of the wrench not the clearance. Vs the video, I removed the air box and exterior intake hose to facilitate access to the harness connector. It’s a simple route, just need to tuck around the OFH.
If I kept parts as imperfect spares, I’d need another garage…. I’m going to roll the dice that it won’t die in the next 100k
