Initially felt like it was running better but months into it that changed and it felt sluggish. Still good but sluggish. At No CEL or codes. Consistently ran at rpms at stops during this period. CEL finally came on, right bank stuck at degrees. Reset timing cleared code. Less than a week later, CEL on but running okay between stumbles.
Replaced 8 VCT solenoids and all 8 plugs and boots. Less than 5 miles later it stumbled again. Cleared code and in less than 5 miles it stumbled again. Told them I'd think about it. Next day, CEL on but only random stumbles, no dying. Only cleared code this time because it felt like it was running better. RPM's consistently at stops after running temps achieved.
