B16 + Stuck gas pedal + no Rev Limiter = Awesome!
Drained the "oil" from the pan a lot of coolant came out first bad sign #1
Pulled the valve cover 2nd sign
Pulled all the plugs found this on the #4 cyl
Removed the cams etc notice one of the springs is just sitting there
Pulled the head


I was at the track on sunday and was racing a buddy when i crossed the finish i let out of it but the gas pedal was stuck reving to who knows much. I see a **** load of smoke swirling in my rear view mirror the first words that came out of my mouth was "****!!!!!!" I had to reach down grab my gas pedal and pull it off the floor it was sticking to the flooring material foam ****. I should have just turned off my car or left it in gear but it happened so fast and nothing like that had ever happened to me
. It sucks that something so gay as pedal covers and not checking a little box to set a rev limit could cause all this. (I didnt chip it by the way i bought it that way) I was planning on doing a obd1 conversion anyways.
I knew I should have taken those "racing" pedals off when I bought the car just never really thought about it. Also people who chip without revlimiters
I wish I could have ran it on a stock map but pre obd dont have jumpers

That was some bad *** ****. I was in my friends coup racing Denny. after the line I had him by a nose, I let out of it and he went smoking by literally smoking. Just thought it was a head gasket at first but turned out to me a lot more than that.
Damn man, that must suck to have your motor go all because of something so dumb like that. I wish you the best of luck, and be happy - you have a reason to build a much better setup now!
thanks everyone... I dunno what I'm gunna do next but yeah it will be better. I'll prolly use the head to practice porting, I don't think its salvageable lol. spock you only beat me because i had a shitty launch
oh well u still beat me.

One example why the rev limiter is very important.
Too bad for happening like that. I hope you can pull yourself up and get a new engine.

Damn dude I still can't beleive your stock b16a blew and my stock b16a almost hit 12's and drove home. I seriously thought I'd be the one finding a tow home. Then there is freaking gavin, he the only one who didn't break something
. What ur plans now?

I might just find a long block instead of building that ls block.
