    Thanks....now im playing the "did I double check the torque on that bolt" game...running great so far...going to wait for the break in period to finish before I give a final verdict but it does seem to have improved the torque in the low end already.

    Update:
    So far really happy with the improvements that have been made in the low range already with less than fifty miles on the new seals...definitely feels like it has woken the motor up from a stupor.
