    Just replaced mine in June for the Nikasil issue. It was a Georgia car here in Cali, no rough idle or anything. I dyno;d it for a baseline and got 200, had a leakdown and BAM!

    Now I have a lifetime warranty Bav Auto engine exchange alusil. I am happy.

    Actually, yes. The web site was redone around ~ June. Personally, I've got a bunch of interesting pictures that I haven't uploaded and a bunch of writeups to finish.

    best, whit
