Not sure why your tank on an 09 would be too close. I have a 107 build and I put MCR's in, easy to reach down and push each one in before starting. They are located next to the plugs in the heads.

The 107 isn't the issue, I ended up at 10.25:1 compression which is the issue and why I went with CR's. What compression you running on that S&S build?

Use S&S easy start cams no need to drill the heads or install compression releases, might be a cheaper route, only draw back is they sound a little funny when you shut down the engine sometimes
