I wish I’d read your comment a few years ago. At least I’d ask what you know about the Vertex motors.

I bought one on Craigslist cheap. Never installed. Cost quite a bit to install ($5k). The car ran great for a year. Then threw a CEL. A cam shaft is 6 degrees off due to the variocam advance. Car still runs great, but it’s now is a rolling parts car. Will drive it until the slightest thing goes wrong. Then it will be scrapped.

I wouldn’t buy another Vertex motor.
