    The reason it is called the bitch tube is the difficulty one can encounter getting it compressed and down and out of the intake. It will be stuck in the block on a high mileage motor. Installing it is a piece o cake. Clean bore in the block until the tube will easily slide in then compress the spring and tie it with wire or zip tie. After the intake is on cut the tie and make sure the tube is pushed all the way into the intake.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      How did you make the pistons and the block so clean?

          Ahhh the miracle stuff. Easy off oven cleaner and a wire brush. Once you have the head off, raise the piston to the top of the block, hit it for with the cleaner lets it sit for "2 minutes" hit it with the wire brush. Easy.

          Change all your fluids after.

            Too bad they'll be back to just as black in about 30 seconds or less. :) Sure looks purdy though.

                Tis true, but if you haven't seen the million mile bmw mobil 1 commercial I want my pistons to look like that. Also OCD.
