Overall severity
MEDIUM— Summary
Severe process buildup observed on the upper valve body and accumulating between the driven gear teeth, consistent with technician's first-hand observation. Buildup is heavy enough to potentially obstruct gap measurement and degrade gear mesh.
— Recommended action
Clean upper valve body and gear teeth; re-attempt valve gap measurements at A2–A26 / B2–B26 after cleaning.
