All of that makes for a real down time about family. I am lucky that I have always been able to forget the past completely, boom its gone! You need to talk to that car as its not holding up its end of the deal.

LOL... I take credit for the failed parts. Car/engine gave me fair warning when shutting down in front of trailer, so for that I'm appreciative. For most of the first full year I had it in the new trailer (2016-2017), I never opened the door. When I did it was covered in water like a heavy dew had fallen. My other enclosed trailer never had condensation, but the new one does. I did fix that afterwards. Bottom line, I believe the condensation allowed moisture to enter headers and get into open exhaust valves. Before even turning engine over, I used a borescope through spark plug holes and didn't see anything of concern, but I couldn't see the tops of any valves. Robbie tells me some of the exhaust side are pitted up top, so I'm sure that's where the cracked valve comes from. All cylinders looked good to me, but then again, I'm not the expert. #8 cracked hole may be from that storage time as well?
