    My VX ran fine when I got it in June, although never driving one its hard to compare it to anything. It did pass smog (I ran the test myself) but the motor was always a little noisey. Through the fenderwell I could always hear a mechanical noise. Not sure if it was just the exhaust leak on the passenger head pipe, valvetrain or the broken crank. It is possible the noise could have triggered the knock sensor to back off the timing causing loss of power, but the new motor definately runs smoother and has seems to have more power. 50 miles on the clock so far. Vp277, the motor is virtually identical. By what I can see the only differences are the pistons (more drain back holes), and the drivers side valve cover (PCV valve mount).
