For example, when caveman carbs commit suicide, any true "car guy" wanna see the guts of it.
I just started it up after filling up with 112 octane. Just had driven about 5 miles from cold start up never over 3K RPM. Sounded like a bomb went off. Some think a Motec failure of a misfire with overrich condition as it was still only around 55 degrees. Engine has 8.0 compression 3.5 liter JE pistons. No piston, cylinder or ring damage upon teardown. Just one plug blown out and 2 others about to let loose.
