But then dropping the engine is no picnic either.  Maybe not so bad if that’s your objective from the beginning, but when you’re following the HONDA service manual, and it says to just remove the header, remove one nut and you’re home free, it soon becomes a nightmare. Also in hindsight, if I had merely checked or replaced the switch while I had the engine out I could have saved a HUGE amount of knuckle busting. (Apparently I’m not that smart...) And if I had done more research before tackling this job, instead of simply trusting my HONDA service manual, I would have done this job in a couple of hours and been done with it. As it is, the switch is out, the new one is ready to go back in, and I’m a little wiser in the process. Hopefully my experience will help someone in the future.I’ve also figured out that I can replace the oil screen screws with shorter BOLTS, so the next time, it won’t be impossible to remove them.  :salute:</blockquote>
