My tech recommended two things by way of preventive maintenance. One was timing chain replacement. I've read the countless posts on this topic and have decided to roll the dice and just stay with the original chain.

The other was the replacement of (if I remember correctly) a diffuser ball that is somehow related to the injection system. According to my tech, if this goes it can cause a lot of expensive damage.

Anyone know anything about this? I couldn't find any posts.

Thanks.
