JFP,

With that philosophy, and I know Jake did his homework on his Guardian, but what if there was software that was constantly monitoring this data which the computer already is. Then have that monitoring trip an Check Engine light when the cam deviation fluctuates or goes beyond a predetermined value (+/- 4 degrees)?

This sounds like more of a tell tale sign of impending failure than a chip detector...even have a safety net and if those values are exceeded, shut the engine down to prevent catastrophic failure.

Sound like a wiener?

P.S. If shutting down the engine sounds dangerous just think if it hand grenades in traffic.
