No 6 Exhaust valve issue ouch! - Darrere - 30 Jul 2023
Well I finally got chance to remove my RH A/C side 4,5,6 cylinder head to inspect for damage after the auto box failed to kick down from 2nd to 1st causing the engine to over rev.
Not a pretty sight at all! Replacement cylinder head required!
Thank you Chris for the support tool.
