Its possible that few year it wont be any big deal, just another transmission.
The problem with unproven tech is they don't know why or how they can fix it when things go wrong, it may take a long time in many cases before they resolve the issues.
In many cases it takes a total redesign of the part or the whole system and it may not be a retro fit repair.
In your case you are always claiming running around at 4500 rpm for some time to keep the valves clean, that IMHO is nothing more than a band aid for a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.
This is a rather ridiculous post from a typically sane poster. You can fix everything but don't know how to clean valves? Really? That isn't even a breakdown, just cleaning.
And my bandaid is not a bandaid. It is called being lazy. I'd rather just burn off the deposits than clean the valves. You don't have to. Your engine won't blow up if you let the deposits build up. It isn't like cars are failing out there because of it. This is the most ridiculous rant over something so stupid I have seen on this board in a while. Maybe sanity will return soon.
I can clean valves alright but why should i, when my old tried and proven FI cars don't need it. LOL
