My Honda VCM Experiment

The Honda VCM system may be destroying engines. I’m on a quest to find out if that is the case. Because if that is the case, I want to find the best solution.

To that end, I’m running 2 different tests to determine if Honda VCM systems really do destroy engines, and the root causes of that damage. I’m also testing the VCM Tuner II to see if it can bring back an engine with low compression that fouls spark plugs. Stay tuned.

Details in the video.
