I figure with a bright enough light maybe I can see through the spark plug
holes, especially on a dreary day like today. I was hoping not to change
engines right away (although temp is 50° this morning at 7:30).
I suspect something also. It has a street perf cam in it (NLA from IPD)
so "Valve mischief" is possible. Also possible something passed through the
HIF6s and the valve and got in there. (been there before with a B20 big
bore engine, which was destroyed - maybe we caught this one in time!)
If I have time today I will look at it.
