Consistent burnt engine/rubber/plastic smell WOT high RPM

Cam plate and cam cover needed resealing on mine. Problem is now solved. So glad of the 5 yr warranty!

I don't understand why this isn't a huge thing. Do people not notice a blown-out sway bushing?

Mine has seen better days, I'm assuming it from my aftermarket overripe. I wonder if there are aftermarket bushings that can handle the heat better

Same with stock. Seems like all but grandma's car would be cooked. Just climbing a long hill at WOT would do it.
