Stealthee I've seen the kits from Summit to remove the DOD components from the engine.The kit is a new lifter valley tray,lifters and head bolts but no cam,although it says a non DOD cam should be swapped in.

jCat I think I'll try one of those bypass units.I'm going to use an engine flush,maybe multiple times,to try and clean as much buildup as possible with conventional oil and once that's done switch back to synthetic.I checked the oil I am using currently and it is Dexos compliant.
