The JDM oil control valves arrived in record time. I bought them on eBay from the UAE, they arrived in a week!
I put them in and went for a spin on my favorite back road. It ran great, no oil leaks, no smoke. I'm even getting used to the left elbow issue. It's only a problem on hairpin corners, regular sweepers are not an issue.
I have another list of things still to do but it's a big relief to know leaking oil all over the top of the engine is not one of them.
