Golden Eagle makes a great kit. It comes with all the hardware you need to bolt the head to the block hassel free. If you would like I can get you one from the shop where i work for 229.99. Just give me a call @ 1-800-826-9843. My name is Billy.

If you buy the Golden Eagle kit, it's definitely worth it unless you really know what you are doing and can source the parts individually or use other methods. It's going to take a lot more than 10 mins. to put it install... I mean seriously it's hard to do an oil change that quick which is part of the procedure. I wouldn't say that the kit speeds up the process too much, it just makes it a lot easier for the do-it-yourselfer.

The oil filter screws on the pancake just as it would the engine.

No special instructions. It uses the same oil filter as any honda.

The kit comes with a sandwithch plate that screws on where the oil filter use to be, then the oil filter screws onto the sandwitch plate. Not a big deal. when you buy the kit you will see what I mean.
