Understood, but my question is what caused the fire? I've had an engine blow before (actually two) and the symptoms were not as described.
I'm not saying it wasn't the valve issue, but I'm just asking what evidence there is that it was. The "popping" sound heard was down the list of events, and could have been anything. In both cases where I had a blown engine, the noise comes first, then the other issues.
If it was the work done on the recall, then that needs to be discovered, but we also don't need to assume that is the cause.
