@iamdub I forgot to credit you with making me first start googling oil pump porting yours looked great which led to this I just didn’t feel like doing the inlet I think it looks okay from the factory.
I did get the motor torn down and everything looks great so far except I broke both spring compressor tools I had. I’m not sure if I was using them wrong or I’m just an ape, anyone have a better suggestion I can get in 3-5days?

Not sure where you can get one that fast but this is the type I use. It works extremely good, really necessary if you're doing dual springs.

Wow that’s cheap, I was looking at a comp cams one for like $100 it’s super nice and does two springs at a time. I think I’ll fork out the money for it since I can get it shipped asap

Lmao I did all that in about 3 hours with a buddy who’s got five broken vertebrae just chit chatting with me. Non of it would be possible without a good knowledge of these trucks and a few key Milwaukee tools. First is the two M12 ratchets they are amazing time savers, the impact helps a ton as well as the hood light!
They make the same design in a double but I find it easier to concentrate on one at a time. Both my trucks have double springs and it takes all my concentration to do one because it’s hard to keep the stem centered as you’re compressing the spring. Vinci High Performance turned me onto this design, the others don’t work well on double springs.
