Happy driving bud

Thanks man,

I have an obd eleven, so will try to do some logging myself and see if anything comes up.
Appreciate the offer on the spares, I'm in Europe, but if I'm ever in need and am heading back over I'll hit you up.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the heads up, doesn't seem to be an issue for me at the moment, but I'll keep an eye out for that!

What about Pcv valves guys? I heard these are worth replacing, and that there are newer revisions that are better.

I found a thread from 2017 about that, but is there any update since then? What's the newest / best setup for those?

Yes, isn't there a way to check this though by removing the dip stick with the engine running? Maybe someone can confirm this...

I think the Rev G is what most people go for.

What about the cam follower?
