well i put another clutch in my car so i could make to Hondaday in the morning. tokl it for a spin turned around and on my way back i shifted at 9k and that was it. she shut off !!!! i think the oil pump fucked me. can't even turn it over by hand.


i pulled a plug out and this is what it looks like. from the looks of it the head is proly done too !!



my luck has been so bad this year i am about to sell everything

 

damn, never seen a plug get toasted like that before .. sorry about your luck

 

That looks bad. I think the head is gone as well as the piston.

 

dzm that sucks sorry to hear man

 

what kind of whp were you putting out on the d16a1? sorry to here about the motor. time for a rebuild!

 

Either heat or something is running around in that combustion chamber. You will surely find out when you yank the head.

 

dayum Dave...... When i got your phone call I was really expecting something stupid/small being that new clutch just went in

 

wow, sorry to hear about it dave... sell the maroon 4dr and with the money rebuild it!

 

thats not good

 

Sorry to hear about this Dave..good luck with whatever you decide to do. If I can help at all, let me know.

how and why would this happen ? do the keepers let loose and the valve goes bye bye ?

 

If you pull the valve cover off look at all the components of that particular cylinder.

 

Damn Dave . Really sorry to hear that. Stick w/ it though homey it's all part of racing. If I can help out lmk. Later

Phil

what brand keepers and retainers were you running? we had a set of stock keepers on crower retainers, and they started pulling through. luckily we found it before it broke

i think Ferrea is the way to go because they supply new keepers with their setups. ive been over 11k on my head more than a few times and havent had a problem yet. the race car revs to 10k and hasnt had a problem yet either.(knock on wood)

I've seen the Ferrea Keepers crack in half and drop a valve...

crower retainers and valves not sure about the keepers i bought it with them in it.

i will be tearing it down tonight to see how bad she is hope the sleeve isn't ruined.

 

again dave sorry to hear about that mishap. im with everyone else with the idea that you should rebuild. even if you dont get it done till next season, youve come this far at least get it to the point where you can enjoy it a little before you move on. good luck.

damn that sucks man. good luck in what ever you decide to do.
