Yes my car was the original. Then it had the problem so we rebuilt it when we found out it needed to be cracked open to fix the problem.
It seems it was the valve that bent somehow. Sam said possibly over-rev or something.
So ultimately I went stage1 long block with forged internals.
In the end I ended up with the Garrett turbos and a stage 4 tranny so I wouldn't face any more issues.
