while waiting for a pm from another member on the board, i wanted to see what you guys thought.

I got bored the other night and did ONE run pretty hard, always making sure i shifted at 8K. Ran fine right after that for the rest of the night, but the next day, i had all the signs of bent valves ...and i dont get it, i always shift at 8K.

setup:
lsvtec, ctr pistons, stock 99 b16head, chipped p28

Car sputters (with barely any power) and gets worse the longer i drive. car sputters in every gear up to around 3k most of the time, some times higher. and every now and, it will back fire.

inconsistant idle...below 1K most of the time, feels like it about to die at red lights.

i was about to try different sparkplugs when i noticed that my spark plug wires were wet. it smelled like gas. only the right sparkplug wires were wet. When i took out the right 2 spark plugs, they were wet also, smelled like gas. the other 2 plugs were dry.

I know that i should do a leak down and a compression test, check cap and rotor, and change out the spark plugs.

so what do you guys think?

 

hmm check timing...

 

hopefully its only a valve
