So i wanted to test my newly built B16 on the track. Here is the link: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1192506

I was nearing the finish line in fourth gear when suddenly the engine siezed and died. Took it apart and this is what i found.



A valve dropped.
Both head and block suffered permanent damage and can no longer be used.

**** that sucks man. So the omnipower valvetrain failed? I thought they were meant to be took past 9k? Look at the bright side, bigger motor

 

The retainers and springs are all still in good condition. The valve broke in half and dropped. I am charging it to wear and tear.

 

Stock valves?
