I'm interested in your perspective on the lifter failure. Do you think this was directly related to the MDS system? (I did the delete of course). My failure was on # 8 cylinder. To me, and from some of the UTUBE videos I've watched, there is a lot of speculation that the failure relates to poor oiling of the lifter wheel. I'm fully on board with that, as it only gets oiled when the crank flings oil up onto it. To me, it seems the engine has a serious design flaw. DON'T let it idle for extended periods!
