went to race a firebird had him beat by about a car then missed getting it into 4th and hit 9500 on a stock gsr head, do you think i could of done any thing to the motor. my teg shakes now but i also just droped it right befor the race, do yall think it is the motor or the drop. thanks

 

whoa 9500 i thought when i hit 8700 it was all over.... How does it shake?

 

not like dam crazy but the steering wheel shakes a lil and so does the shifter , only when i get around 6000-7000. but there is no valve noise at all

 

Give it a compression test and remove the valve cover to check for obvious signs of damage. You may have gotten lucky and not damaged the motor.

 

it happens to the best of us i did the same thing shifted into second instead of 4th and it hit about 95k, in an ls though, so if it didnt hurt anything on it im sure your gsr will be fine. if the steering wheel is shaking its probably a steering or suspension problem.

 

thanks i will do that tommorw and i hope everying thing is all good

 

but lets just say i did bend a valve or somthing how would i find out ?

 

wouldnt a rev limiter save you in this situation?

 

i guess it would of but its kind to late now it happend about 3 hours ago

 

well actually it wouldnt because shifting to 2nd at 80mph is going to cause the motor to shoot right past rev-limiter. what would save you is the block into the gear, but when you slam the **** out of the shifter (like when racing) you can get it into gear.

turn your car on and listen for any ticking noises if you hear anything , pull the valve cover off and check all your retainers and clearances

 

thanks for the info

 

also check to see if the idle is steady,if you bent a valve the idle would bounce up and down a little.

 

9500 Oh ****!

 

got the head off today and sure enough had bent valves and a **** load of carbon build up. poured water in to all of my exhaust valves and only my #4 cylinder held water in it. droped it off at the machine shop today $125 for valve job plus $12 per each bad exhaust valve and $9 for each intake valve that is bad

 

i guess it could have been worse

 

if anything you might have bent a couple of valves, it wouldnt cause your car to shake. You might have gotten lucky and just got away with it this time, do a compression test to make sure though.

Edit : sorry didnt see the other posts, im an idiot, but sorry about your valves man.

 

okay, and now since your block is no longer virgin, you should sell it to me. mwahahaha.

oh jesus.

I knew it was there before I got to the bottom. LOL

typos are funny.

 

I did the same thing last nite. missed and went all the way to 8200 rpms on a LS. It ran fine today though, no weird sounds or anything coming from the head, but ive heard stories of peoples engines exploding after like 300-600 miles after a miss.
