All I have to go on is what my mechanic said and the fact that the noise I heard sounded just as described in the threads you linked to. It still runs, but to quote the mechanic "it's about 5 revolutions away from bending all the valves and destroying itself." I told him if it's only a core at this point, let the valves bend - what do I care?
