Mine was about that bad. I kept putting it off but finally decided to try patching it from the outside before pulling the engine. All the sealant issue posts on here had me worried.

Anecdotally I agree with this. Mine cracked, and the only other person I knew with Ace also had multiple cracks + repairs.

No, fuel system status just means warmup (1), closed loop (2), open loop (4). Look at injection mode d4-s, which tells you if you're using PI (1), DI...

I'm familiar with the Friodur stuff, my parents have a set as well. Aggressive stones help, since their burr is more prone to bending than carbon (rustable) steel. 1200 + a hone is good enough for...

Fuel trims still seem high to me at around +20 combined. If you're positive there's no leaks it'll be sorted out when you get tuned.
