Well i know hurt something just don't know to what extent. This is a freshly built sleeved b16 with a precision 6262 the head has springs and retainers only.. The setup has 1,050 miles on it but yesterday i was clowning around trying to scare my girl with a 3rd gear pull.. But my damn floormat got caught in the gas pedal and when i let off it, it held it wide open at 9500 rpm luckily it had a rev limiter.. I shut it off while it was wide open at 9500 probably for a good 2-3 seconds banging the rev limiter because intially i thought the throttle cable or something stuck wide open..

I figured out it was the floormat, restarted the car no symptoms at all.. I then shut it off for about 20 minutes when i got home and when i restarted it the valves were tapping pretty bad but went away after i gave it gas.. Now everytime after that i have bad valve tap on startup especially this morning when it was completely cold..

The car seems to run fine i did alil pull up to about 7k just to see how it acted but i was alil nervous about running it to 9500. I have no noticable loss of power just noisy valve..

Is it possibly the valves came out of spec and i need to get the valves adjusted?

Is it possible i slightly bent a valve?

what else can i look for?

 

do a compretion test. this will tell u if ur bent a valve, b16a should hold that rpm. how much boost were u running

 

16psi on a 6262 alil bit over 400hp...

 

Also check valve lash. could need adjustment after valve float like that.

 

yeah i guess i will start with a valve adjustment and compression test then go from thier.. I really don't wanna pull this head already after 1,050 miles..

 

Was she scared?

 

Yeah it was funny at first, then i got the **** look on my face so i guess she got the last laugh, lol..

 

even before the compression test, this needs to be addressed.

once the lash is correct, then do a compression test.

 

u guys think it will be okay to drive 30min to the shop?

 

x2

 

if it was me, id tow it!

 

haha i've done this before too.. actually a real embarassing story when i was 16.. tried pulling e-brake around a slight corner during a big snow storm and slid off and hit a fire hydrant LOL.. i have since grown up and learned from that..
