Regarding the injectors RCM will conduct "flow rate checks".

The gelling is only a theory at the moment as I haven't spoke to Matt yet although we have been emailing each other as I gave him a report of the minutes leading up to the problem.
In 6th at 170 ish the engine was holding back slightly for around 3 seconds so I backed off. That 3 seconds was what caused the problem and we are all on the case finding out what happened in that short time.
Fuel starvation would have been the primary cause of valve scorching.

If the injector did fail all four will be replaced.

A lot of the engine is very similar to The GS as Matt designed my engine as a street version of their car. Other than the Gas O RIng system, the turbo and fuel related parts much is similar or the same.
My engine has been built to cope with 10.000 rpm all day long so we are well within the safety margin running at 8200 regarding the actual build.
