[Shotimes] 98 SHO Engine Failure

[Kirk Doucette]

Pistons do not get damaged during the normal failure, Valves do get bent and
the heads are also fine. To repair a typical failed car you need to replace
the cam and affected valves. There are a FEW cases that the valves broke off
but its only been known to happen 3 times so far.

The failures are on either bank and not intake or exhaust cam specific.
Valves, pistons, and probably head damage.
