Exactly. My engine is a 1991. That's nothing for metal, but it's a lot of years for plastic. Although there's no indication that there's anything wrong with the plastic gear, or any part of my oil injection system, I just don't want to take the chance. $397 is cheap insurance in my book.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
