The main thing we are trying to prevent is ANY future problems. After dealing with the VTC problem several times, I just don't trust them. The performance is secondary at this point. I was happy...

I went back and read the post I made a few years ago about putting the exhaust gears on the intake cams. I probably was talking out of my *** back then, knowing what I know now, and what I've done...

VTC / exhaust cam gear swap

I am replacing my friend's engine after one of his VTC's blew up. I was wondering if it is possible to replace the VTC's with the exhaust cam gear to eliminate the problem altogether. Has anyone...

Thanks for returning an offer.... Unfortunately I sold my 92 SE for only $600 more than your offer. I'd be looking for something significantly cheaper.
