Done it on 2 engines...
Best if you have rods / pistons / crank / flywheel etc all balanced at the same time.
Runs smooth and revs like mad....

Removing 5Kg of inertia resisting mass in the engine is a good idea IMO, makes the engine much more "snappy".

Allow half a day to take your time clean things up etc, get the correct size tap in and its not a bad job
Definetly frees the engine up

My VXT had it when I took you on track that time, as said above, helps with smoother revs.
Worth a call to C-Sport up and ask them to tell you about them.

very easy to install yourself, you just need to be able to get under the car with some decent room.

If anyone is interested, I think the parts are off an X20XEV, you could probably pick them up for £10 or £20 second hand.
You're unlikely to need a new gasket BTW, unless you are ham-fisted when you split the sumps; I've opened mine up about 3 times over the years and never bothered with a new one anyway. The key to a non leaky sump gasket is even torque distribution of the sump bolts and good crank case ventilation.
