I bought a 2007 a few years back that had the original plugs at 50k miles.
I pulled them and only one broke. The revised plugs don’t break anymore, so it’s a non issue.
It’s more of a mild inconvenience than anything.
You would need to scan for misfires to identify it if you want to target the specific cylinder.
To trigger a CEL, it has to trigger enough misfires per 1000 revolutions so it may be under threshold.
If you cannot use a datalogging software, start with the basics - pull coils, plugs and look...
Sounds like they finished it wrong tbh. If they just did a timing job and it’s throwing timing codes, it ain’t right.
They need to pull the front cover, inspect the timing marks and make sure it’s actually in time. If it isn’t/wasnt, then I would also make them inspect the cylinders for any...
I would buy a higher mileage unmodified boss, no question so long as it has been maintained and looks clean/straight.
If it’s modified/tuned, you need to look at it very closely and if you can’t get specifics from the owner, it could become a headache quick and would pay for a PPI.
On the two...
I think what’s pretty cool about these is they offer the same benefits of the FRPP manifold without the same cons.
Though I would wonder when them being cast aluminum how much they suffer from heat soak, and I wonder if the EVAP design is any better than the FRPP to make it more DD friendly
Was curious on that aspect of the Bullitt grille too.
Though with my own experience, getting air in isn’t a real issue with these cars, but rather getting air out.
I ended up pulling the Bullitts off and putting the Corsas back on. Not sure if it was my particular used set, the the Bullitts did not flow much air, especially compared to the Corsas - felt a solid difference at idle airflow and with a leaf blower blown through both.
Exhaust seemed to also...
Not sure if you are ok with non-OEM, and I cannot comment directly on quality but LMR has an Bullitt style grille

You can also look at Vibrant 1794s mid mounted too. I also ran that setup for a bit with muffler deletes out back and it sounded good. It droned pretty bad, and the ground clearance sucked though
This is it OP.
I put the wireeverything relay relocation kit on my car proactively and it’s great. Literally plug and play and saves your BEC from melting.
When looking at parts that could catastrophically fail and cost you $10k or more, the few hundred $ becomes very worth it.
Most limiters or lockouts are simply blocks put in the phaser to limit its phasing, so you could probably reuse the existing limiters.
