Yes, the single mass flywheel is a game changer. Makes the car more alive and the blips are amazing. Go for it.

Agreed. The RS 4.0 clutch and flywheel made a HUGE difference in how the car feels to drive. The 3.6 is such a rev happy engine that it really makes it special and next level. Having extensively driven 3.6, 3.8s and some 4.1s: the 3.6+ 4.0 LWFW is the quickest revving of them by far.

I pinned my pipes myself. Engine in the car. Did not disconnect any hoses or do anything special regarding metal shavings from drilling. I put grease on the drill bit to catch/hold shavings while drilling. Once the bit enters the coolant, the coolant starts coming out the hole. This pushes any debris out of the system. I let the coolant dribble out while I was tapping the threads into the hole. Then installed the screws/pins with red loctite.
I followed a video from Drola on YouTube. The process was pretty straightforward. Worst part was dealing with the AC compressor and power steering reservoir.

Just wanted to share to indicate that it can all be done without engine removal. Hope this helps.

That’s amazing. I never could have done those oil cooler elbows with the engine in the car. I have big hands and forearms.
Congrats to you.
For future reference, this is only possible on the non-turbo cars.
