Default Look what i pulled out of my motor!! and it ran. back together WARNING SOHC INSIDE.



Found this when I went to change my valve seals,head gasket, head studs.

But luckly Im a d-series guy and have 4 other motors laying around. So the rod was switched.

heres the motor after a light p and p.

the motor.

d16a6

.20 over
stock c/r
arp head studs
y8 head gasket
z6 i/m
port matched exhaust and intake.
b16 t/b

heres a few pics.














motors together and running good. burning mass oil need to do a compresion check. some retard rebuilt the motor before me and messed mass **** up. (colt your a dumbass)
but the motor runs good and pulls like a b16. BUT THE OIL BURNAGE IS ******* ANNOYING!!!!> Ill get more pictures in a few.

This is my thought as well. Rods shouldn't just bend on their own.

FYI, IIRC Penzoil is parafin (wax) based. I wouldn't use it in a motor that is going to run very high temps.

<U>That's intentional!</U>

Your car has the rare factory "automatic compression lowering" feature. If the engine feels that you are having too much fun, it bends the rod and thus lowers how high the piston goes in the bore. This limits performance and as a result, how much fun you are having.

If you were having "way too much fun", all four rods would have been bent.

This feature wasn't installed in too many cars due to the factory not being able to figure out how to get the rod straight once you have gotten bored.
