Nah. mid 80's to early 90's I couldn't keep my Olds motor together valvetrain wise...even with all the Mondello parts...but then again going with larger than I should have 'Beast' cams from Crower and going to 7k or so wasn't smart with Olds stuff. Finally made switch to Chevies that could handle that for millions less $$$$ and not break.....trans, drive shafts, ujoints, and rear ends different story with the added power...lol.

If the solenoids are anything like what we use in the aerospace industry they will never be a long term solution. We have tons of problems with them in vibratory environments. The pedestals wear, creates debris, and the current required for them to operate always exceeds what they are given. Constant failures.

http://www.coatesengine.com/csrv-system.html This is something a little different that has been in development by an NJ company for about 15yrs or so , as I recall from 1st hearing about it. Looks they they finally hit it huge with a $100 mil licensing agreement for a Chinese company to mass produce.
