Props to you though for taking time reviewing all these WC components. It's much appreciated

Edit: Maybe we should have a mounting competition here at the forums? Fastest to demount and remount wins
I'm just mounting in a regular TT armor case. I do cheat though, I've since cut a hole in the back of the motherboard tray so I can swap out backplates and hardware as needed, and I've also install two globe valves I can shut down to minimize the water loss when swapping blocks out. Then all I have to do is run the air out into the reservoir and top it off.

But you don't have to break into the loop to try the left right thing. There is always the inlet and outlet as designed, that's not in question here. We're just talking about which side or orientation the inlet should be mounted. All you need to do is unscrew the block mounting nuts and flip the block around with new paste.

I'm down to just a few minutes and that even using digital calipers to measure spring tension on all four corners...
