my buddy missed shifting from 5 to 4 and popped it into 2nd while going like 75...only stayed for like half a second...perminate damge? the engine seemed fine and just as strong, its a 2000 gsr, in a 95 hatch with a p28 chiped and rev limit removed

lucky i guess - if no idling problems, perhaps unusually loud ticking - JUST FOR ***** and Giggles ... check the timing belt to make sure it didnt skip any teeth.

xerox445

there was some ticking but not loud at all, very feint, i dont think its valve tap...i hope not

Chemicalviper

do a valve adjustment, not like it hurts it - careful not to get ticking confused with the injectors - sometimes dirty injectors are loud ticks too.

Def check the timing belt though, if it wasnt pure tight it might of skipped a tooth, but if that was the case he would most likely have problems starting/ideling and pulling out of first. - Dont mishift again ... its happened to me ... top of 3rd into 2nd and i needed new valves. Sounds like your buddy is lucky - topic done

Probably fine. Might want to do a compression test just in case and adjust those valves if they're ticking.

xerox445

someone told me that the ticking was because it was a "heavy engine"....i duno what the hell is that about, but why im concerned is im most likley going 2 be buying the car off him soon, like later this week, should i back out? he treated it well and the car is real nice, i just dont want have alot of problems with it...espically head problems...they are not fun and expensive

9,000 grand? so 9 million?

Pho Real

My buddy did that on his R engine(he was going around a turn and he misjudged the shift), didn't get it out quick enough.... bam totally wasted the engine

Chemicalviper

Man xero you just want me to keep comin back CLM is correct, compression test and I suggest a valve adjustment is your best option to see if the motor is in best shape - if its a 2000 GSR you want 200+ compression/psi number obviously - If i was buying I wouldnt buy it with anything below 210/200 - 2k Motor is pretty new ... shouldnt lose to much compression.

yeah, we were going like 956 MPH down the garden state parkway, the tach spun around like 100 times, i think its ok though...but seriously, lol

Chemicalviper

hey plug in a vafc or something and check if tach is off - mine was when mishifted - it starts out as under 100 and gradually gets to 300 off at redline.

took at look at that, how long does that usually take? and can i rent one of those from like advance auto parts?

Chemicalviper

This is better link to a thread i started for compression tests - good link on there.

Make sure engine is warm. Not sure if you can rent the parts, i know you can buy the part for 40 bucks, and to have it done by a mechanic is like 50.

xerox445

ok so i plan on doing this in a rest stop parking lot along the high-way, we are far apart...do i need a TQ wrench to re-tighten the plugs? and what do they get tourqued down 2 after they are done?

Chemicalviper

torque plugs ?? no hand tight is just fine

xerox445

positive on the plugs???? wouldnt the top of the chamber with a whole in it...with a piece of metal/ceramic need to be purdy tight when running like a 10.6 compression and gas exploding in it? i duno i thought i read that somewhere, but its also 2:15 in the morning, and ive got a buzz going...

xerox445

bump for tqing the plugs?

Chemicalviper

your talking about spark plugs? yes hand tight, they shouldnt have to move around or wiggle - ive just checked mine after 6 months ... still tight as hell. but hey if you want torque them out.

xerox445

mad respect for chemalviper but i kinda want a second oppinion, anyone?

Chemicalviper

It says 13 lb for GSR

do a leakdown test to check for bent valves. after that do a valve adjustment if the test comes out good.
