Hi all
Further update is
Once heads striped, not all valves bent
All exhaust valves bent and 2 inlet valves only.
No other visual clues.
Theory at this stage is the when starting the engine had a lean backfire and the engine rotated backwards .
The engine has VVT so I am thinking that this is possible.
Once the electronics don't know where the mechanical parts are we have problems.
I remember when I started the car I was in a hurry and when I heard it fire I let go of the ignition key, basically a tentative start.
This could have made the perfect conditions where almost start on a cold morning, just enough to kick back.
Is this a big stretch or plausible
Cheers Brett
