[s-cars] bad vibrations update

[Jerry Scott]

I don't think that you will see any performance changes, but if you sell 
the car to someone that requires an emission inspection, it probably 
would not pass.

>>I have driven the car 5k miles since I got it almost a year ago and have been running on 4 cylinders the whole time. I was thinking about any damage that may have occurred as the fuel injector was working the whole time that there was no spark. I have read about cylinder wash where the unburned fuel essentially washes the oil away and causes premature wear. Will do a compression test soon and see if there is any damage but I did quickly check the compression while the engine was cold and the plugs where out and it looked good.
