Default Missed Shift-UPDATE

Talked to Huffines today. The #5 cylinder, which was low on compression, had a **slightly** bent intake valve.

The valve has been replaced and the car should be ready tomorrow.

Thanks for all the support. FYI: Ripper arrived today, going in on Sat.

Car is back-Runs Great! #5 intake valve was bent so slightly, that it had to be rotated on a machine to be apparent to the eye.

Did they say how it got bent? Did it hit the piston? Glad you're back on the road :cheers:
