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.
3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I thought for sure that the crack would be in Cylinder #1 but it turns out the cause of my intermix is in Cylinder #6! I wonder what the likelihood is for it to be Cyl#1 vs Cyl #6? I think I have only seen one other post where the crack was in #6.
That one is very common, we can usually spot it from 5' away. Since it leads to the spring seat, and into the guide bore, its one of the most difficult to properly repair. A custom valve guide will be needed.
Thanks Jake. I will make sure to ask John Edwards at Costa Mesa R&D about the new valve guide. He probably already knows what it will needs.
