Need to make a note for people doing the ripshift install, but i found it strange they tell you to remove the shifter knob :S when all you need to do is rasie the foamy shifter shaft cover and undo both shifter bolts, and the knob plus gear boot comes off in 1 peice, sure as hell minimises the chances of a "noisey gear knob", i havent noticed any increase in cabin noise, maybe only very slightly but i'l probaly pack the area with some sort of sound absorber.

havent liked the oil i was running since the cam swap, so drained out the castrol edge 10w60 that was in there, it came out VERY black, only been in less than 2000km, yuk was just wrong.
slipped in some new penrite hpr10 (10w50) and so far idle is smoother less noisey.
cheers go out to chargedbt1
