Is VVT a reason to worry? I'm interested in getting a 6.2L L92 crate engine.
Is there any reason to be worried about the VVT on the 6.2L L92 crate engine being prone to failure?
3 mechanic friends of mine do not like the VVT. They seem to think that it is not a good idea, possibly prone to failure and expensive to fix. They site the need for a special tool being required to make repairs.
Is there merit to my friends opinions, or are they just overly concerned by the introduction of a new technology to a Gen IV engine?
Thanks for your input.

I've got the motor in my 07' denali XL and I loce it. no mods, VVT kicks ingood by 3K rpm. 17K miles no problems. Good base for a motor from what I'veread . torque monster yes ( with teh 6 speed suto behind it) but I'm not sure about a direct fit inanf-body or similar car.. thats why I'm going with an LS7 in the 94 B4C later this year....
