I was thankful, we agreed with each other and I left to fix the problem.

If you DIY Next Gen's upgrade, after removing all of the bolts when the valve body is on the bench then flip the valve body over, then separate the halves to avoid all of the check balls falling out.

Take pictures and follow the Next Gen instructions. BTW, I have met with Next Gen to improve instructions which they said should be available next week.

However, the pictures in the previous post, should support you with the majority of ambiguity I encountered.

Discard the GM gaskets and replace with Next Gen's.

The retainers insert inside of the clips.
I have no reason to believe GM would cover, most, anything on my car. Given - some of that are because of mods', and while I haven't had many bad experiences, 99% of the time, they damage something. eh

THANKS FOR THOSE TIPS!!! I really scrutinized that video, and feel a little more comfortable. I, definitely, used your pics' in conjunction and am crossing my fingers I can put it all together when the time comes.
