Gotta admit, that's the approach I've taken.  Bought mine in '99 and have
not babied it.  When I successfully climbed Vail Pass pulling a Uhaul
trailer at 75mph in 3rd gear at 5k rpm and nothing jettisoned through the
hood, I figured it was a minor problem.  That was in '00, over 40k miles
ago, and prior to my t-belt service.  I've since had another similar trailer
towing trip, not to mention frequent rev limiter events, and the noise has
not worsened.  I'd like to figure it out, but I'm not worried about it.
