Well my engine is ticking louder, but could anything else be wrong? I don't have a rev-limiter (I know thats dumb) and hit over 9000 rpm for a SPLIT second (I have a stock valvetrain). Please tell me what I should do. TIA

 

I would reccomend doing a compression test, and inspecting the spark plugs. I might even do a oil change just to make sure nothing got messed up. If all checks out ok, then it seems you have gotten lucky.

 

hopefully u didnt bend a vavle.. my friend tached to like 9700 on his B20vtec w/ type R head, bent all the valves in the head.. the ticking was crazy, like scary to drive.. definitly do a valve adjustment/..

 

my friend shifted his b16a at 90mph into second and the motor was totalled. however he hit 10,000+rpm on his new motor or thats what the memory on his autometer tach said and there was no damage at all. how did he do this? He miss shifted from 3ed to second at 70mph. imagine that. and his new motor is a LS/VTEC crazy huh. im sure you have all seen the b16a crx blowing the motor in the video thats all over the place, its the one with "in the end" playing in the back ground. oh your answer. compression test. sorry for the long post

 

never seen that video, hook me up with a link..

 

theres the link, you will have to unzip it when its downloaded. tell me what you think. also i can get pics of the block and head if anyones interested, there still in the shop. I also have the video of this car with the LS/VTEC playing with a mustang and a few other vids if anyone is interested.

heres a few pics of the head after the mtor blew.

 

Alright I just did a compression test....

Cylinder#1 = 170
Cylinder#2 = 160
Cylinder#3 = 170
Cylinder#4 = 180

Tell me what I need to do next...

 

did u do the test with the throttle at WOT?
those numbers are low, u should be above 200.

there is a problem.

 

Hey turboex.... These look familiar? These came out of my B16 when I broke a timing belt at 8k rpm

 

yeah man, there nothing like seeing valves come out the tail pipe.LOL

 

BOTTOM LINE...

CHECK YO VALVES!

 

damn straight!! check those bad boys!

 

Oh by the way... I have 9:1 CR pistons so that may be the cause for a lower compression. Also, I did not do it at WOT. Im gonna go do another test and Ill get the new numbers.

 

ttt

 

CHECK YOUR VALVES.... You prolly at least need a valve adjustment... if your valves haven't been bent by the over rev... If the tapping continues after a valve adjust... they might be (some or all) bent.

Good news: I misshifted the other night, 9K, low comp pistons 9.2:1 luckily I did not bend any valves... from 2nd to 1st.... don't ask
