I'm content with the tuner's response. Thorough and professional.
I don't think the engine slipped a tooth. I think it slipped a whole cam.
Which cams were in the car when the rods bent?

Be just purchased a hks turbo kit for my 1.8.
My car currently runs these piper regrinds :
Products - Piper Cams - Europe’s leading manufacturer of performance camshafts
I have vernier pulleys and the car has been set up for NA use. I'm wondering if keeping these cams in for FI use is a good or bad idea?
I still have the standard cams so can swap them back in easily enough if there is no benefit of running the piper cams for FI.

Standard cams were in the car when it died. Along with a completely standard head.
The spare engine is in and running. All seems well. Touch wood*
Dan will be checking the map on the dyno next week just to be safe. I'll drive it there gently. Hopefully this will be it sorted.
It appears I may never know what happened to the other engine.

Anyone else notice that the guy who made the video did a cut and past on the eyes? They are completely identical.
How lazy do you have to be to only draw one eye on your "art" and then copy and past it so your creation isn't a Cyclops?
