may be you are right, i was thinking just do what oil cap says, Ford added GCC options like dual exhaust and rear air vents but that writing still exist

On a more serious note - looks good. How's the interior holding up? Does it all crack?

I believe that's the oil pumps through the driver's side first then to the passenger side head. The oil passages on that side are very small, too.
5w20 is widely used here
engine run tight and smooth, some pinging if car abused in city driving especially when going uphill at 40 to 50 mph

thank for the info
