Default A couple side by side pics.....

Put on my Meagan coils and just did a quick side by side with my brother in law at the gas station.... The ride is pretty good..... But there has to be a way to make the uca stop banging, if someone has pics of the holes they drilled to let the bj come through the engine bay post it up so I can see exactly what has to be done..... Enjoy the pics....

I would wait for UCA from Figs.

Even with the hole your pillow ball will be at an extreme angle.

If you dont care then mark where the UCA hits, should be visable marks from the arm hitting, then take a hole saw and go at it.

Good luck

Once the hole is cut does the banging stop all together or does it just help it out a lil???

EFF that..After a week of that, we cut a hole for them to travel.(mine were banging constantly) Hole saw wasnt working so we just went o.g. and used a cut off wheel and cut a box shape so we can have some covers welded on eventually but i got lazy and havent done it yet. Just search uca cut out and someones will pop up and you can see pretty much where to cut, and to answer your question mine stopped completely.
