Best bet may be to ask Factory Pro. I am surprised that there was no instruction about these settings. I am not familiar with this kit, but if you...
Be very careful of what you install. Look what happened to the previous owner of mine. I had to replace the frame....
Willie - better to start a new thread then to jump onto one that is already insanely complicated. Also, no offence, but you will bet better...
As readers know, my copper gasket(s) failed. I used the sealant on both sides of the gasket as per the instructions, torqued everything down and...
