I'm sure someone will give you a more technical answer soon. If you try cut corners you will blow sh*t up, especially being an early BA with weak rods and the jelly 5spd manual.Do it once do it right!

But dont be surprised if torque management cuts in occasionally too ruin the fun.Oh and what a "Jector".........?
