Specs: eg hatch, gsr swap, motor is bone stock

quick story, i was at a stop light, light turns green, i start to go and the car dies. i try to turn it back on but it didnt go

i pushed it into a parking lot where i proceeded to work on it, checked to see if i was getting fuel, which i was.

pulled spark plugs, pleanty of fuel

luckily i was next to a autoparts store, bought a ignition coil because the spark seemed a little dim,

anyways after a few times of trying to turn it on i had found out my timing belt had broken some teeth and slipped,

had the car towed home.

next day installed timing belt and camshaft seals(driverside)

the car turns on but idles rough with a deep ticking noise, not a high pitch pinging noise

so most likely its a bent valve, but would a valve adjustment help at all or is it time to pull the head?

also what damage do bent valves do to the bottom block and head? thanks

im not 100 percent sure but i will give you what i think..if it is a bent valve i heard you can grind them but since they are out you should just get upgraded valve's and valve springs imo and i dont think a valve adjustment would help

Unless you're going to ITR style valves, or turbo, oem valves are fine (actually very good). OEM intake valves are all stainless and exhaust are stainless stems with the other part being inconel.
Grinding or lapping valves is only to get them to seat. A bent valve is a bent valve, it needs replaced. You can get replacements cheap.

ok sounds good. but question, what is so special about the itr valves?

and what brands do you like for dual valve springs that are affordable.

phaphon

super tech is usually pretty cheap

hey maybe post it in the integra section since its gsr

ya ive ran super tech valve seal guides before, they seem to be good for the price.

im most likely going to pick up a gsr head and use that for now and build this one on the side. thanks again
