So now the fix has been published, who will be the one to provide it. One post above notes he would be happy to purchase the engine with the insert already in place. OK, Who makes it? Does everyone believe the dealers will be responsible, or do they really think the manufacturer is going to provide it now they know individual engine owners can do it themselves?

Are you folks so naive to think the foreign engine manufacturers really care about you? Perhaps some of you (only a few) understand that all they consider is the bottom lines, and making a new part to fix an old problem effects that bottom line, negatively. You got shot in the foot (thanks Terry) for any possibility of an intake redesign, which would have been 50% of what was needed to take the 30's performance over the top of anything out there.

So ya'll might just as well break out your favorite molding compound and get to work. That's likely all the response you'll receive, especially considering the manufacturer's original repair proposal missed the mark by a couple of miles.
