Here’s Hooveys Run in with bad valve stem seals and the resulting piston wall scoring.
I know it’s not the same engine, but the problems remained. If the cylinder walls are fine . Fix it. |
Excellent video for those who cry that dealer is not changing their valve stem seals.
I have never trusted cowboy Indy vs the Bmw dealers specialists.
