[QUOTE=Jake Raby;386883]This is why we have done everything we can to keep these components away from the DIY installer, because few are able to pre-qualify their engine and do things like check for timing deviations before the process is done. That means the engine is retrofitted and then it may have a problem in the short term, and the first thing that pops up is our component.QUOTE]

There are some amazing things being done by the DIYers especially on this FORUM. Some are capable and some are not. Perhaps more threads on whats involved and what to look for etc etc threads. Giving detail info where owners have the options to take it in to have it done or to do it your self. Many make hobbies out of working on there cars. Nothing feels better than fixing your car yourself imho.
