Well to make a long story short, on the way to canadian grand prix i misshifted 3-2 and overreved... continued to drive on highway, drove fine, then came to rest area, and it was idling bad w/ engine code. so in the rest stop area checked the code, it was overrev code and misfire on cly 4... plugs looked good, but compression on #4 was 120... so probably bent valve.

The car is parked somewhere, but i need some advise on suggestions for what to order. So far my list would be ...

Headgasket
Headstuds
Valve cover gasket
Valves(as needed)
Head Job(as needed)
Hondata IMG
Exhaust Manifold gasket
Coolant

... is there anything else you can think of that i would need. I am going s/c later so don't say raise compression ...

Also what's the best place to order this stock ****.. thanks guys, go easy on me, i just came back from the drive.

 

we've been getting a lot of these lately, is this on an RSX, EM2 or EP3?

 

Yah what car are you talking about?

I heard alot of this happening for EP3 i think.. i havent heard this happening on DC5 yet

 

sorry, this is for a 2002 rsx type s

 

ouch

there could be a lot of things messed up, you werent like at redline when you shifted... were you?

 

If your gonna need valves you'll probably need pistons and if you need pistons you will probably need to rebore or sleeve your cylinders.

And remember dont replace.... Upgrade

 

why yes... yes i was : /... it went to like 9.3k or something like that, pretty bad.

And replacing valves != pistons... i'll post back when i get the **** apart

 

Depending on how bad it was, you might need to get new springs and retainers. Might as well upgrade to titanium. I don't think there's damage to your pistons, hopefully, there isn't. good luck.
