hello, i need help with a question, i have two friends that bent some valves in their B16a's and had to replace their distributor as a result. now ive bent some valves in my itr and im wondering if i should replace my distributor. Maybe its just a coincidence...help!?!?!?

 

well how did they get bent valves? did the timing belt snap? did they over rev the engine? i'm just asking this because i can

 

over reving

because you can what?

 

ok well why is it that they had to replaced the dizzy? i have over revved my engine causing a couple bent valves and didn't replace the dizzy just the head. there was nothing wrong withthe distributor. also you people need to learn about driving if everyone is bending vavles like that.

 

WOW you took the words right out of my mouth

 

yah seriously what are you guys reving too???? you do understand there is no power up there on stock motors!!! and the dizzy should not be affected by floating valves!

 

how would you know if you have bent valves?

 

compression test will tell you

 

I know that compression test will, but other than that. Can you tell by just hearing your engine?

 

I have only heard of bending valves by over reving your engine, timing belt snapped, or timing way off. Thats it. And replacing your distirbutor has nothing to do with the valves bending.

 

haha, thats funny...i bet the car is covered in mugen and spoon stickers...and has a huge spoiler, for when you're feeling extra ricey and need to rev to 10k rpm with the help of your ebay superchip

anywho, replace the valves and valves seals and such and make sure your clearances are proper
