Just checking. I made that mistake when i installed my head. It was adjusted for aftermarket cams, so I had no compression. Sorry to hear though man. =\

They were trying to rip you off. Find a new machine shop.

Re: OMG I BLEW UP MY DEL SOL! (94_Del Sol)
You had alot of warning signs. Ever since you got the cams, you have been posting up problems after problems after problems. And i think everyone told you to upgrade you valvetrain. Sorry to say this but.... we warned you.

it had nothing to do with my valvetrain...my timing was off 1 tooth but was fixed by a honda tech before i drove the car...so what does that have to do with the valvetrain? yeah i should have upgraded it but according to other threads and buddy club its fine on stock valvetrain aslong as you dont rev it over stock limit which i didnt...im thinking about getting that tech43 stroker kit since my motor is apart..but nobody has any proof on how it actually works

That seems high revv. You had stock valves but were they calibrated and adjusted to spec?

Re: (94_Del Sol)
Hate to bring up the old adage that bad things come in 3's. Buy a dirt cheap car & blow that up to save your sol's future 
When I saw the 2nd pic, I thought that the explosion was the cause for the bulging wire cover.
