My car has less than 30,000 miles on her, so I feel like a VCG swap is a long way off..... Is the job (VCG) really so bad? Why?

It’s just a bit tedious. It’s not difficult at all. About 2-4 hours of work. Gaskets tend to fail and leak at around 70k. You are bound to replace it eventually. Like rick said, shops charge top dollar for it. IMO , it’s such easy job, it’s hard to mess up.

I don’t see why not. You might see less overall gains, but you will get gains nonetheless.
