I can't tell you actual but I only bought 1 liter and did not use it all, not even close.

That sounds like one of those things written in as "best practice".
Seriously, the engine generates 350 lb-ft of torque, how could I or any normal person damage it with hand tools?

I just used your basic black (oil resistant) gasket seal. In my experience virtually any quality sealant will work if you properly clean the surfaces. The oil is on the thick side, is not under...

YES!

It is far easier to tighten them when re-installing and if you ever need to remove them again.

The hex socket screws just allow the use of the ball head driver which can be used at an...

Who ever said "excessive" toe wouldn't effect tire wear?

Toe mainly effects tire wear when you are driving straight.

If you're driving straight down the road, you'd be correct to say that caster won't have any effect on tire wear. But I highly doubt that's what you were referring to. As soon as you turn the wheel...

I never said that "more toe" wouldn't lead to more wear. Toe causes wear, that's a fact.

You stated: "Recognize that toe is a far larger contributor to tire wear than camber....."

Not sure where you got that from but it is flat wrong for rear tires. Front tires have caster and the more caster in the geometry the more negative toe will wear the inside of the front tires but for...

I set mine at 0 camber in the rear to prolong a set of tires that were far worse than I realized. I could sense a slight difference but all in all it drove just fine. I doubt most would even be able...

That's what I would do but I've heard so few bottom end problems I would not mess with it. Swap your freshened up heads and water coolant pipe and put that in.

With the money and effort already put into the heads I don't see much choice other than to keep moving forward.

Nice detective work. I would have just cut it at the kink and soldiered the ends directly onto the connector and called it a permanent fix.

I'm almost positive but that's not the N62 V8 I have.

If that's it the barb you seeing is the fresh air side and not capped. The engine side is that rectangular tube below it in the picture.

If I'm looking at the picture right it's what they call the pressure regulator valve. Essentially a PCV valve.

Geez at that point I would just pull the heads off and get a 3 angle valve job. That would put a lot of fresh life into the engine.
