I did the install without having to take the engine cover off. I also don't have oil cooler ones so I had room. Don't drop the hex bolt!
Hey, I know this was a while ago, so I wonder how they are holding up?
I am having the same exact problem you described.

Anyone else feel free to chime in; how are your aftermarket ones holding up? Anyone try D*rman brand?

My problem happened only 3 times and on exceptionally humid days (not sure if that has to do with it, but the only common factor between the 3 instances).

thanks.
