14.8 hours...ouch! I read the Chiltons manual (what a mess) and those aluminum heads have to be de-torqued in sequence! I don't think I want to pay a dealer to do this...expensive!!!! How long do you suppose I can run it watching the oil to make sure there is no lower end damage before I have the work done? A month?
