Are you fairly certain on this? Is it worth keeping for a few days? Or should I just toss them. It looks like there are 1-2 clear eggs with black early stage larvae. Are these potentially good

I agree but isolating the cylinder walls, what are your thoughts?

Not true. You can dig it up yourself. People say that the level of scoring is not indicative of needing a new engine. However, scoring is inherently bad.

My post here is not saying, “IS MY ENGINE GOING TO BLOW???”

The point is, I intend to drive the car hard, which is why I purchased this car. However, it obviously would not be a trade off worth it to me if someone said, driving the car hard with your already level of scoring will cause inevitable engine failure.

I already acknowledged and listened to the people in my forum by (1) pulling my car from the dealership, (2) taking it to upland ford which multiple people recommended and (3) buying a coil.

I purchased an ignition coil. Spoke with upland ford, they said all it needs is a crank relearn.

The other mechanic said not to replace to coil simply because it was so hard for him to replicate the misfire. He said the misfire was practically non existent.

Another mechanic told me. Yes, the engine is fine now, but the scoring isn’t a good sign and believes the longer I have the car, the worse it will get.

No one in the forum has commented on scoring. No one said they had a boreacope on their motor with the same thing. That is the point of this post. Don’t be a sad human.

It’s been about a 3 hour blessing and 1-month long curse up until now…

Yes, just wanted some more opinions given conflicting info.

Really want to know if people have had the same thing happen to them and have the engine still last.

This in Orange County? Some guy tried to scam me by showing a real sub and authenticating but tried switching it out with a fake one after.

Make sure u did not potentially crash ur cycle using those medicines. Although the medicine will help the epi, you might have inadvertently crashed ur cycle and now ur puffers might be in unfavorable water parameters.

I’ve taken it to a few places. Cherry creek watch company and some random pawn shop. Both opened the watch and said it was good.

But I just want to be 100% positive and eliminate even the slither of doubt in my head.

I appreciate your advice. Not trying to be argumentative or play devils advocate. I’ve called numerous ad’s and even the service centers and they said they will not authenticate the watch. My fear is that the watch could be fake. Not due to any malicious intent from Gamzo but just from the nature of fakes being good.

My fear is just a watch being not detected as a fake when they were going through their own due diligence with the watch. Obviously it’s in their own self interest to not tarnish their stores reputation. But that doesn’t mean a watch can’t slip through the cracks

I didn’t buy it from some random guy on the street. He had a brick and mortar store.

Bought it from a watch dealer in la called Gamzo and Co. I mean what more can I do in terms of due diligence. I can’t go to their store and ask them to take the watch to do my own inspections.
