Awesome! This may sound stupid but you don't learn if you don't ask. What are those things you focused on over the cams? Does that have to do with the variable valve timing?

I like the new Dipstick!!!!
Is it just me or did they change the design of the oil pan? Also the top of the intake runners are square and the intake on the heads are oval..

I was pointing out the revised camshaft reluctors, and repositioned cam position sensor locations.
