Time to start throwing money at it !
I have found that it is more effective to throw the money at the parts
suppliers. When throwing money at machines they just sit there.
Sometimes they may grin a little, but machines can be subtle and you
can't always tell when they are laughing at you. A good indication is
when you start the engine after installing some spendy part and it
promptly sticks a rod through the block. The engine equivalent of
sticking your tongue out.
