Hood won't fit but yeah you could possibly but the work wouldn't be worth it. Would be better off fixing the wedge unless the tunnel itself gets bent then yeah I would do it then.

If it is an XCR it could possibly have VES valves from that year. Regardless that engine required Full Synthetic not the Polaris Blue. So one thing I would do is switch to either VES Gold or AMSOIL and that will help as well. Watch your plugs if you turned down the oil pump, if you turned it down too much you could lean it out.
