Worked great. Perfect fit. Just installed the entire kit today. Drove it pretty hard and couldn't get temps past 200 degrees. They hovered between 185 and 195 mostly. I'm running Mobil 1 0w40.

I have 9 more Viton o-rings if you or anyone is interested.

Wow seriously?

I wouldn't mind 2, and I believe RegPei is local if he wants to work something out

PM me, or text me, lol

Yeah, Stillen support was pretty laughable. The support rep told me, "he did his job and emailed R&D" and that was all there was too it. He apparently even confirmed with "the V.P of Stillen" that I should simply buy the whole sandwich plate and that they couldn't give me the manufactures' information.
