How many exhaust valves (heads) did you have rattling around inside the cylinders?
- Or did your valve seats go first....

Never had any engine trouble whatever with the Auster, but I only owned it for two years, and traded it on a Cessna 180, as I had moved to PNG, and the Auster did not seem to be a good idea.

The only actual engine trouble I have ever had was on one occasion coming from Melbourne to Dubbo in a Grumman Tiger, it dropped a valve over The Rock, and I made an emergency landing at Wagga. (fortunately I was at 9500ft)
