az6 turbo Member 38 Member For: 13y 4m 1d Gender: Male Location: shellharbour Posted 02/08/14 06:11 AM Share Posted 02/08/14 06:11 AM Bought the car with 110xxx ks so can't say what oil was in before but had full service history. I use castrol edge titanium 0-40.I know the rumours about full synthetic, but if it was true I'd expect to see wear like that on all lobes, not just one!It was worn like that on cyl no4, inlet valve closest to the front of car. I'm sort of thinking its bad case hardening just because of the way it looks or I was getting really bad float on just that valve.And their was no rattle to even suspect there was something wrong.
