2008 Z06 that dropped a valve

Looking at one that has 60K miles, and now a rebuilt engine. Owner says it dropped a valve. I am concerned because that seems awfully odd, especially since these engines are rock solid. Thoughts?

Question about Zaino Fusion

Normally, removing swirls is a two-step process - an aggressive swirl remover like a compound and then a polish to remove any defects the compounding may have left.

How many folks do this? I'm following the directions of Sal and only using about 1.5 to 2 ounces when I apply by hand. I would like to apply with my DA, but it's gonna take a lot more than 1.5...

Using Zaino on top of other brands' polishes and swirl removers

Long-time Zaino user here. However, I've just started to get into paint correction and would like to use some other brands' polishes and swirl removers instead of Zaino. I know Zaino has those, but I...

Goodbye and thank you

It's a sad day. I just traded my 06 Monterey Red Vert in on a 2014 Race Red Mustang Vert. The reasons are long and complicated, so I won't go there.
