....and this was hiding under the valve cover.
#2 cylinder, exhaust lobe. This was the worst one, others had scratches/gouges, but weren't as worn down.
Oh well. I was going to switch the oil to Valvoline VR1 but looks like the damage has been done. PO ran Mobil 20w50 in it. Banjo bolts tight too.
She still runs, and we're gonna get the most out of this M30. Unknown mileage, so I'm not going to put a new cam in it. Eventually will swap a B35 or 24 valve the car.
There's my story for the day.
Moral? Put VR1 in your M30s. They need dat zinc.
