These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Performance Ignition do really nice work - such old school service. Great choice.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Items back from vapour blasting. The valve covers had a lot of corrosion from, I think, the rats nest atop the motor (rat urine?) The oil tubes were replaced into the camshaft towers and new plugs installed. If you don't remove these, you are definately not getting all the crud that can accumulate.
