<<Question 1 - Why does this keep happening? Especially with no valve damage.
Because you are blessed....
Seriously, I may be jinxing myself, but I have used many of these
myself and where I work. If it is installed BY THE BOOK, I have yet to
see one not serve well. I have not had a single failure on this part.
8 different 164s, following the Alfa instructions, and no problems. Be
sure your mechanic is not "smarter" than the designers. I have heard
so many guys tell me that they "torque it down" and make their own
rules on the install. I also give the car no special treatment. Once
it's in, it never gets touched until 30k goes by.
Maybe it's just my luck or the weather... who knows, but I see this
style on other cars as well.
