The S54 on the other hand, made a huge difference in terms of making everything more smooth and quiet. But I haven't noticed any fuel efficiency nor performance increases either. I did the Beisan stuffs on the S54 mainly for preventing the hub tabs from breaking more than anything else - for that, I'm happy.

But, as they say - Your Miles May Vary
I decided not to do the rattle kit as I don't think I have the VANOS rattle. I've heard described as bb's in an empty can. Definitely don't have that going on. Thanks for the info.
