In last pix, the PCV is on the left taped up and sticking out from valve cover. Yup, that's the new one. Should have new plugs installed and have the revised valve guide seals as well.
Thanx ZeeForce for that comment earlier. I subscribe to about....4 other OC threads plus this one. Just sharing the knowledge and continue to do so when I can from our brainstorming/ideas/personal experiences and UOA results.
My new frustration has been my worsening detonation and has been my new 100% focus now. Anyone have a Consult II or Cipher they can loan me? lol
You know who to hit up on your Amsoil products

Can you tell me when they changed/started shipping V2s with this revision? Was it from the start? According to my mechanic, valve guide seals is a major cause of the OC. I had my V2 installed last August (2007). Is that engine before the new PCV and valve guide seals? Thanks guys!

Quicky update with another 2K on my V2 since 3750 mi oil change to current 5700 = 8mm down again. No further OC improvement it seems, but my last 350mi was solid spirited driving. IDK...will monitor next 1800 with normal driving habits and see how much more OC at end of this oil service interval. Hope not another ~8mm more. *crossing fingers*

It all goes back to the same original speculation from May of 2007, which were the rings, possibly pistons, valve guides, PCV valve etc...etc..
I would speculate (guess) that the valve guides and seals were replaced from the first engine back in May of 2007.

Extended Warranty???
Very few have received the extended warranty. I was soooo lucky and kept calling back NNA after I received the fresh engine. And after two NNA reps, the third one (a gal out of Canada) went to bat for me with the supervisor and it went to the board. They called my dealer's service mgr and asked his opinion, and then it went to the board.
I got one, and have only heard of one other person getting one.
100k mile warranty or by the year 2011, which ever comes first.
Cheers
Curtis
