If I decide to take it in I'll give the dealership a few months or a year to get some experience doing the recall.
Yeah, agree, what are the chances of my engine surviving the recall work without at least a leak - ??
Ya, I hear that.

I go back and fourth about having the work done or not.

On one hand, why mess with a good running engine - if the valve springs were that weak, wouldn't they have gone south by now?

On the other hand, I wouldn't want to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere on one of our driving adventures and the engine go bam! -

Or, get dinged on trade in because the recalled work hadn't been done -

Or, give the car to my oldest granddaughter, knowing that the recall work hadn't been done -
