Still waiting to hear back from the dealership. I have a claim open with racetrac, so everything is set if they determine gas caused the damage to the engine.
I’m not going to lie i’m very nervous, but while i wait to hear back from them i was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on what the cause could be.
Basically, what do you think could have caused two cylinders (one and two) to die instantly and have zero compression?
My theory is, maybe low grade fuel or water caused a rapid change in the engine timing, detonation, possibly a cracked head or chipped or bent valve, or water spraying onto the hot valves causing a a valve to chip or warp.
I keep leaning towards bad gas simply because my tank was empty (gas light on) and it broke while leaving the station.
whatever the cause i know it was catastrophic, and there was no indication at all of issues prior to filling my tank.
