So i was installing my header today....had the new header on...had all of the bolts on...not tight...But to get the jack under my car i need to put up onto boards..So i fired it up quick and pulled up onto the boards...didnt rev over 3500.

Is my motor ok? My friend says i could bend my valves by doing this..I had the motor on for maybe 5 - 10 sec.

The car seems to pull good...and has a deep grow to it...Im jus a paranoid guy...

 

By the way the motor is a b16.

 

Yup, you can warp the valves without an exhaust manifold on, but you should be ok if your motor was cold at the time.

 

Yep, didnt turn it on all day.


Is the deep growling sound normal?

 

yes the sound is normal

 

Have you guys watched that video on streetfire where they remove the manifold and rev a d series civic untill it blew. It took like 30 mins and at the endthey where pouring milk , water and all types of **** in the oil cap. ****** crazy it lasted that long.

 

My exhaust almost sounds wrx'ish.....??? Rips like hell tho?

 

Maybe its one of my plugs fowling...hmmm

LOL and shooting bananas out of the exhaust ports too!! That is a true testament to honda durability.... Even after the first big bang and the car dies, he still is able to fire it up and run for like another 6 minutes on 3 cylinders haha

 

@ OP:It's fine

That video on streetfire was good ****.

 

Haha one of my spark plugs was fowled..no wonder it sounded like a wrx

 

Hmm well changed my plugs...

Its an ebay 4-1 header..jus cant figure out why is sounds like a wrx to a degree...maybe thats normal?

I no i have a bad exhaust leak where the test pipe connects both to the header and exhaust...

 

A fouled plug will make it sound like a wrx, and the exhaust leak is probally not helping anything. Just adding the header will make you exhaust note change, so its not gonna sound like it did before.

 

I know my car is running RICH AS HELL...im waiting to get my new Intake Manifold..then im slapping it on and going to my tuner to have him install my ITR cams and tune it...Could it be cuz its so RICH?
