Who did the demandate? Does it still have the VG turbo on it? Can you post a pic of the tops of the pistons?

take your pick...
== Exhaust wet-stacking can cause valve seat(s) to loosen.
== A Fuel source introduced into the cylinder when it is not supposed to be (leaky injector, leaking valve stem, oil or fuel getting into the intake, etc).
== excessive cylinder/manifold pressures can cause it (bad programming and/or excessive boost all the time). Is it known to have a turbo cough (a whoof, whoof, whoof sound under the hood) when you get on it hard or let off the full throttle suddenly?.
== Uneven head heating/overheating.
---------
- See the scoring and odd coloring vs the other cylinders around the intake valve(s)?. Looks to me like Fuel (or something) is getting into that cylinder when it should not be.
Did it pass a rail leak test after the rebuild??...

Its also de-mandated, so if I have not reviewed the programming, then that is the next step as well.
