I’ve watched the FT-86 Speed Factory replacement video, and it doesn’t seem too difficult, with a lift. I would be worried about missing some of the old sealant that could get in the oil, or new sealant getting in the oil. [emoji19][emoji848]

Sealant shouldn't be an issue, even if you apply a lot. This isn't like the valve spring recall where it's super easy to "misplace" the coolant.
There might be some used ones for sale on here, if not there will be one soon
Or just take yours off an reseal it to try to fix it that way first.
