Yep, replacing the AOS on a .2 is harder than a .1 , and a Tip is harder than a 6MT, so you get a double whammy !! The .1 6MT being the easiest .
The key to an efficient and non-intrusive procedure is to disturb as little as possible, That said I started to include the URO aluminum aos heater hose connector to the UAOS kit due to it being a good "while your in there" thing to due and because someone can break that off if they still have the original oem plastic one. But I decided not to include it or have as an option to complicate things, drive up the price, and a lot of people already have this addressed.
So if you have the OEM plastic connector, then get the URO aluminum one and install "while doing the UAOS". It can be done quickly without draining the cooling system if you use two clamps above and below the connector.

Skip, Noah and I finally checked the blow by on my 2001 3.4 C2. I have the UAOS + track drain. The blow by check showed 2.6 inh2o on my 111k engine. It has definitely been apart and rebuilt prior to my ownership, but I have zero information on the work.
With the result of 2.6 inh2o, UAOS, track drain, and LN .5 sump, what do you suggest the oil capacity should be? Thank you.

But based on this, my Prescription for Track oil fill is 11.3 qts ( with new filter and min of 30 min drip time)
996.1 = 9.3qts + .5 qt sump+ UAOS T ( 1.0 qts) + 2.6 inh20 (.5qts).....

You should also test blow-by at WOT using the .221 orifice for most accurate Prescription ..

30 min! You’re hired 😃 I fancy myself a very good window wash reservoir topper offer. Have really honed in my technique and process over the years. Always impressed me to see real mechanical hand talent at work. Would pay for that any day,
Quite honestly, on a 6MT, when I was in good health, I could have installed the UAOS Plug-and-Play kit in 30 min.
The pre-sealed "lifetime" AOs comes with the UAOS kit.
It's like telling someone how to thread a needle, just hold the needle in your left hand, thread on the right hand, insert the thread through the eye of the needle. ( A lot of people especially Millennials, have never threaded a needle)
