My plugs always look like they should though.

keep us posted

I’d rarely get blue on startup unless i parked on a steep hill and even that was rare.

hopefully i’ll find out something new tomorrow, and really hoping it’s something good

They found nothing in the gas tank. Looks like it’s just a really bad coincidence. they want $500 to do a bore scope and i just don’t know if it’s worth it at this point. Don’t know what to do

You could buy a scope and do that yourself for around 20% of that cost or maybe less.

I could, but i’m going to have them do it. i showed them the form racetrac sent me which just states is it in your professional OPINION that the gasoline caused the problems. i’m hoping a borescope will help them come to a conclusion about what happened. even after explaining what happened with the car they still think it sounds very bizarre. Holding out for anything good. If they can’t explain why the engine would blow like that, to me that points to one thing, but then again, i might be a little biased
