I disagree. 36k miles on my hybrid 3L now, still running strong, putting out good numbers, and very reliable. For peace of mind, you can always run an Accusump. With the full oval port available, it's hard not to go that route, but I don't think you should rule out the hybrid by any means.

Heh ok I should have said 01+ oval port motors are the easiest most hassle free route to take. A hybrid will still put out good numbers and be as reliable as any 2.5L was from the factory. One thing I've wondered is if you take a 01+ 2.5L heads off a Cougar and get some 3L valves put in them, do you not get the best of both worlds? High compression and the assurance of 3 drain back vales per head with the same air flow of a 3L head because of the valves?
