Once, installed it took 5 qts (1Gallon + a bit from another battle) of SAE-85 to full her up. Future service checks are now a breeze with built in oil level dip-stick.
Installation was rather trivial - except that brake line support brackets had to be modified. Thin one was trimmed with sheers and the thicker one was trimmed with a hack saw. Couple of passes with a flat file to keep all sharp edges at bay. About 15 minuted for mods.

How did you do the vent tube problem?
What I don't understand, is I am not raising the level past the factory fill plug on the side of the rear end. So yes there is more fluid, but it's not any higher than the fectory level. So this vent tube problem, shouldn't be one. Or the factory cover would be pissing oil out the vent aswell....or am I not understanding something here
