As I near 100 k miles on a daily driver only vehicle I can without hesitation say what a complete waste of time and effort your idea is. My engine was rebuilt at home by an elderly former water well driller. In the 16 years or so that I have had this engine in my truck I have had one failure, a broken valve spring. Personally I see no sense in complicating a perfect in it's simplicity vehicle. The 'the sky is falling' approach just doesn't do it for me...I have driven solo from coast to coast and I have ridden a bicycle solo coast to upstate NY. IMHO you start the ball rolling in regards to worrying about every little thing and you won't even leave the house. As this is my opinion and based on my own empirical evidence I will not respond to any criticisms or pm's, for this is my path through life and as Bob Dylan has said, "Most likely you'll go your way and I'll go mine."

Rocinante, like Don Quixote, he is awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.
