these are the 10 year old original plugs and coil on plug wires more then likely it will not make it threw a "removal and reinstall process " without breaking apart (the cables and or coil on plug wires)
Also how does a compression test run correctly on a Very high speed start?
This starter...
so there was an obnoxious amount of oil loss that resulted in vvt camshaft roller damage... the valve clacking noise on a cold start is gone (for now)but the only way to know if there is damage is to do an oil analysis
So 300 miles later no oil has been lost it's still at the same spot it was...
7500 miles is to make the engine last to 100k
if you want it to last much longer you need a lower OCI
dirty oil causes:
broken hoses
failed seals
failed engine components ..
sludge
4k oci should get it to 250k or more
do you have the DOHC vvt then yes 4k OCI
also only use top tier gas

this is the manufacture spec
( this is a LS2 based engine with LS2 heads non interference engine)
Oil Filter 30Y 22 lb ft
Oil Pan Drain Plug 25Y 18 lb ft
I HIGHLY DOUBT with the space clearance you you could hand tighten it to 22 lb ft..
. see the photo there is no clearance to hand...

I read with an open mind, and gave you the benefit of the doubt, but You are the one who is unable to show any PROOF about your serial claims.

More to this story than what is being disclosed.
well I did not do it...
