Yep plpete84 you get the prize for "worst AOS" found by Rennlisters (60.9) and still running !!!! But trust me, if the little split in the rubber diaphram grows by only 1/16th inch (0.063 in ) , the number will be in the 100's !!!! And can happen in the blink of an eye !!!

And running she is strong but she's also thirsty to the tune of quart of oil per 800 to 1000 miles, depending on the driving style.

Looking forward to getting my hands cut up during the UAOS install Also ordered a tiny ratchet that should be helpful in the tight quarters.

I used to think that 1/4" tools were just toys...Arrgh, give me a 3/8" or better yet 1/2"...no hand me that 3/4" or 1" breaker bar...arrgh!
Then I started working on German cars with their tight spaces and now my 1/4" low profile Snap-on ratchet is many times my go-to tool.
Tiny sure makes tight spaces easier.

So this can be done at idle, warmed up I assume? With any holes drilled cap plugged. Getting close to having the car put back together after putting in new injectors, down to mostly heat shields and bumper. Time to do some further investigations. Have an oil sample test kit and a durametric now. Caved to peer pressure and bought one of those URO coolant connectors.

Skip is explaining 2 different test.

A simple aos test is an old oil cap with a fitting in it so u can measure vacuum.

The blow by test is seprate and requires additional holes in the cap and things to be diconnected or blocked. Search for that thread to know how to measure it.

That I get, I’m now trying to make sure I do the one in this thread correctly so I could share and discuss too. I have the new cap ready to be modified for this and that blow by thread one.

I work on aircraft, a long time ago an old (ouch) A&P told me to always use 1/4 drive tools. That way I would have less chance of breaking something expensive I couldn't pay for. I guess I am now that old guy.

I'm very pleased and Honored to announce that the UAOS has been picked up by FSI ,L&N Engineering, and Hartech to offer to their customers as well !!! Jake and FSI has been doing extensive testing of the UAOS on the "R" series engines and it has "passed and impressed" on all test fronts!!! If it can handle the "R" series, can it handle your engine? Yes ! , Yes it can !!!!

Thanks Jason !! Don't need to sell a million, but a million would just about cover all M96 engines, it should have been on them from the start.....

That's great Skip! And such a simple mod to install, unless you include the AOS on a .2 Tip
