after getting my car tuned, i made 463whp, turbo of course. so then less then a week after that, i put some new ngk plugs in, and less than a mile down the road, as i merged into traffic, clak-clank, and i can tell its only running on 3 cylinders. so after taking it apart, it was two possabilities, first, the tip of the spark plug was missing, the metal strap, which may have got lodged behing the valve face and snapped the valve. or the other is just complete valve failure, and cleanly broke in two places. destroyed piston #1(endyn rollerwave), put a couple little dents on the cylinder wall, & head beat up a little.

my dilemma- i dont have much money. and if i do fix it, im scarred it will break again.

my question is, if i sell all my turbo stuff, and do a really good all motor setup, will i be happy with it?

my last 4 setups have been turbo

i will be using the same block & rods
b18c1 84.5mm
crower rods

 

My advise.... Get out while the getting is good.
