Cool article from Pedro's Garage. I've seen his vids on youtube. Thanks for sharing, Rickyd.

I'm all about driving more, worry less. If this motor has a catastrophic failure I could always find one for around 3K. I bought the car for so little that if I have to get a motor for it, I'm still ok. However, I do want to give this motor every chance to survive, as long as I'm not nickle and diming myself to death.

I could get a Durametric tool and monitor the variocams like you do. And if they start to go, maybe then replace everything, since I'm sure I'd have to pull the motor to get to the cams anyway. In the meantime, drive more and worry less!
