Good catch. I swapped VC's tonight and did quick visual on my valves too.
and what VC did you put on? what color? did you get it PC'd by your bro? hopefully you got a gloss black .. that would look sick on your car.yea definitely get those fixed as soon as possible...you DO NOT want to have a blown engine on your hands like i did. cracked valve retainers will definitely make them claim abuse/negligence...i was very very lucky that my warranty company was a 3rd party and the dealer fought FOR me instead of AGAINST me...
good luck to you

Yeah, I figured about 4-5 hours with traffic. To me it's worth it to place my car in the hands of the master.
