That's true but if you completely drain the system and you don't get the oil that was originally in there, and fill it up with the little cans, you're going to have wwaaaayy too much oil in the system. I'll just have to see, I always find ways of making things work somehow. I can't wait to push the order button though! I love tearing motors down.

That's true, but you never hear about people removing their front bumper when the do the HCI swaps, like I said I don't mind removing the condenser. I've removed a front bumper before and it's a PITA.

well you do have a choice.... remove the bumper, and make life easy.. OR dont remove the bumper and risk messing up your cam bearings

That's one of the silliest things that I've ever read on a forum. With the radiator and condenser out of the way there's WAY more than enough room to slide a cam in without any interference whatsover.
