Giving the M8 another try, had a bad experience with a 17 107. Picked up a 114 Heritage and I’m really happy, Did a ton of research and I will do a couple fixes on weak parts like lifters, cast compensator ramp etc. My question is does this year of M8 need the Feuling shorter sump plug? Thank You

The Feuling shorter sump plug is not necessary.
