Sorry to hear you need graphs, photos and a mechanical engineer to try to prove something as insignificant as a few degrees difference. I'm new to the raptor world and after hours of reading all the wonderful information on this site. I noticed a trend of people removing the engine covers.
I...
I have a early 18 build. It has the composite oil pan. So far its dry and leak free with 57K. However, I know at some point it will need to be upgraded. Something to consider into your maintenance budget at some point when it starts to weep/leak.
