All Engines - Damage to the valve stem may cut the valve stem oil seal assembly, resulting in oil consumption.





DOHC (LL0) Engines - Damage to the lifter bores may result in the valve lifter assembly not rotating properly. As a result, damage to the lifter assembly face (camshaft lobe contact surface) may occur. Refer to the illustration.
