The engine was great and the car runs perfectly

Huge thanks to rockstar garage. At the end of the day it was burnt valves caused by an over-rev. GG
I'm glad you found your light at the end of the tunnel. Just do your best to keep her running strong. Titanium valves are more resilient to over-revving and have higher heat tolerance but I suggest you still practice caution and never allow that to happen (but you knew that already)
