Gr8 stuff Sam - nice update!

Have you ever done the rsr crankcase breather re-fit? If so, did you drop engine to do so or by removing plenum and going in from the top?

Add changing my oil pressure switch.

Use these pictures.


Note that the GT3RS version is fitted horizontally to the end of a metal tube with a bracket and it is much easier to fit a standard 0.75 inch spanner on it.

Note

If you jack up the rear you dont need to jack up the front - its lifted at the same time.
