Differences:
1. The PCW kit includes a new pick up for the oil pump. Seans kit does not.
2. The PCW kit requires pan modification (grinding) Seans does not.
3. The PCW kit includes a modified oil pipe assembly. From what I can see in the photos the modifications include welding the oil pipe elbow (the one the dreaded orange o-ring resides on) to the main oil pipe assembly. Also, this same elbow has a bracket welded to it that bolts to the engine case which will positively retain the elbow in place.
4. Seans kit does not include anything to positively hold the oil pipe elbow in the engine case. It comes with an o-ring (kawasaki oval ring) to replace the orange o-ring on the oil pipe elbow. The kawasaki ring is made of a much harder material. Once installed, the elbow is a very tight fit up into the block. The kawasaki part will not buldge out like OEM. Being that it fits into the block so tightly, I don't see how the elbow could blow out of the block and cause failure but, as noted, there is nothing to positively retain the elbow into the block other than the friction of the kawasaki ring and a new OEM rubber damper included in the kit.
Similarities:
1. Both include parts to modify the oil pump for additional pressure and volume. Seems they both go about it the same way. Shim the bypass spring for additional pressure. Change oil pump drive gear for additional volume. Install spacer plate between engine block and oil pump to allow room for the larger drive gear to mate with the pump.
2. Both have methods for keeping the orange o-ring in place. PCW's is more elaborate.
Not sure on the cost of the PCW kit. Seans kit was $100 when I purchased.
I used Sean's kit in conjunction with the COO pop stopper kit. IMO that would work just as good as the PCW kit and eliminate any oil pan mods. I believe the pan mods are just to clear the new pick up they provide (might be wrong on that).
