Re: Fuel injector woes

Was told of it happening on Toyota MR2 recently. The piston came off 2nd best on that one. Sorry dont know of any magic solvents that would work. I know if it was a motor that I owned or was expected to warranty in any form I would not be happy until at least the heads were removed & checked. When this sort of thing happens on a hot engine the exhaust valve can be bent slightly, but the spring combo may be strong enough to seat the valve, however a few miles/months down the track the head of the valve drops off with $$$$$$ expensive noises.
