Hi all. First time here and thanks to Everyone for their input over the years.

We bought my Wife's 2011 2LT/RS new, but I'm only learning now about GDI and all the problems with dirty intake valves and such.

As most of you are, I'm VERY disappointed with GM's lack of telling the general public about these issues.

Anyway, I've just done the PCV Mod, and have ordered a borescope and intake gasket kit to see how bad the car is. I hope it's not too bad, but expect it to be ugly.
My plan is to remove the top plate on the Intake Manifold (inspection cover?) and have a look at the Intake Valves.

I'll try to load pics, but being new here I'm not sure what will happen.
I'm used to forums which store/allow uploads of pics.

Stay tuned ...
