> Im so irritated and he said over revving is the only way, **which I think is incorrect bc I have variable valve timi** ng, I think its possible for the timing to be off and cause it to mess it up that way right? I dont know Im so pissed right now I just wish I never bought a damn piece of shit honduh:‘(:’(😢

:ponder VVT has nothing to do with interference. if you float a valve by over revving it( which will cause the valve spring to collapse) the valve is “floating” for a period of time and can make contact with the piston.
