Chatting with Kaiser today I realized there are probably a lot of parts that I dont know about, such as an upgraded timing chain tensioner (im still not sure which one is the upgraded part). Even just looking on ECS Tuning I found a hydraulic alternator belt tensioner retrofit kit. Help me make a list of reliability improvements, even if its something as simple as replacing a particular rubber hose with a silicone hose. I hope to learn of some new items
