Cue the Jeopardy music.
It's now at the Stealership.
Time to play the waiting game.

My exhaust has had an occasional popping for a long time now...ever since I added a testpipe to my Invidia V3.

I am on stock exhaust and could hear it very well, not sure how it sounds on aftermarket,

Got a call from the dealership. Cylinder 1 has low compression. Doing a valve adjustment now to see if that will remedy it. Hope that gets it done. 
Fuel injectors were fine.

If you need to replace them(doubt it) I would go with ap2. I'll post my pictures to show you but all 8 of my retainers were cracked!! Car still ran fine.
Not sure how they have ruled out injectors already. They would have to pull them and do a flow test on them.
But, here is too hoping they are just WAY out of spec!

Valves in cylinder #1 are bent...the rest to be determined.
Looking into my options.
Leaning towards keeping the AP1 valve springs, going to AP2 retainers and keepers. The head has been sent to a machine shop, I am going to have them check the retainers for cracks.
