"mushroomed valves"
So i was bullshiting with the Parts Manager at my local mazda dealer today, talking about our miatas and my engine "build".
I told him that I needed a head rebuild because some valves werent sealing and he said that was extremely common. He said He has seen a lot of miatas that were driven hard (not all boosted) that got bad valves. He told me SS valves are a must if you are reving high.
I've never really heard of anyone having major head issues here. I figured mine was just due to high millage cause I had low compression BEFORE I boosted.
Any thoughts?
