Calculated all entries from today, except those with no # of months.

Thanks for the input guys. Very surprising there's no reported problems yet.

For those whom havn't reported, or didn't post # of months installed, feel free to post yours and I will continue to update.

EDIT
Posted a simple pie chart too. Forgot to include the 2 17%'s. Will fix tomorrow.

19% - 12 months/11k miles - no problems.

Note: had a SEL (lean fault code occuring on hwy. at cruising speed) apparently due to modded BPV. Went back to stock BPV spring & installed VGS. Now all is good.

I don't know if the SEL incident would have occured on an otherwise stock motor.

15% - 25 months, 19% - 7 months with no problems for either. I’m curious; why time over distance as an evaluation of service life?
