Retarding or using higher octane is probably the only way. I tried an octane booster in the past but could tell no difference. I've had to retard in the past when I was touring in Scotland (a bit hil

Mine is about 1/4" one side and a bit more the other between the bumper and the very front of the wings. The drain channels should stop about 1" short of that, and this *should* be enough for you to

The oil pump is running all the time the input shaft is turning in order to lubricate bearings at low pressure, controlled by a valve. When the solenoid operates it closes a port which shuts off the

Not really. It hits the top stop slightly before the tank is completely full and the bottom stop slightly before it is fully empty, it is crude as that and not at all critical, hence no specification

None, once the brakes have been relaxed a bit and especially after any cornering (the end-float in the bearings will cause the rotor to push the pads and pistons back a bit). Delaminated brake hoses
