Wasn't racing. Just running for s&g's. Was in second and ran to 8200 in second was going into 3rd and went to first....Big...High dollar mistake.


Can't see in the pics but did crack the cylinder wall for the #3 Cylinder also. What really sucks is just filled it up and only had 1985 miles on it.

omg man, that sucks so bad. Looks almost as bad as that b16 i destroyed when those two retainers broke.

 

setup???

 

read bio for set up...save me some typing ...any one have a spare B16 head they'll sell me cheep

 

damn that's ugly! good luck w/ whatever you're building next

 

how u got back into first, some times i find it hard to go into first when the car is rolling

 

yeah this I know...went into 1st as smooth as anything

 

Ack. Well that does suck...but when you take that piston out mount a lighted candle on the inside of the piston. Really would make a nice flame pattern.

So there you have it your very own personal "Silver Lining" on this otherwise tragedy.

For reals though that sucks.

 

Dam that suxxors man...

 

ouch
i'm surprised that it wet into first
i find it very hard to put the car in first if the car is moving

 

just curious did u have any race vavletrain or was it stock.

 

stock valve train....Lost a keeper on one of the exhaust valves. The spring and retainer were in tact....after it dropped the exhaust valve guess it got the intake valve also.....Cyl 3 if fubared.... Long and short is will not be using any stock valve springs/retainers....ever

or anything else for that matter

what would u need to go in to first gear for???

not even in canyon racing do I need to drop it into first....

Werd?

 

I've mishifted badly a few times in my lsvtec, but good thing it was built well enough to handle it

 

well for starters it was accidental who in there right mind would go 8200 in second and go into 1st??? mishifted was going for 3rd and hit first........the VAFC read 9999 so it was over 10k on stock valve springs and retainers.....really unsure if better springs/retainers would have helped but will never know

 

wow, sorry guy. I am glad I have never misshifted that back in my life. I have maybe twice, but both times within a split second of just beginning to let the clutch out i knew it and pushed the clutch back in. Did you not feel it in the clutch? Am I the only person who can do that?

 

nothing at all.....didn't even throw me forward.....I have an ACT extreme p-p with OEM disc....dropped the clutch and heard a thud and then nothing

 

Man o Man. Id be ripshit. Samething kinda happened to my buddy. Threw an F-max turbo kit on his LS integra. 20 miles later, had cracked ringlands on every piston. lol

 

see, thats why no one should build lsvtecs. they are unreliable.

j/k

thats why you should never shift back into first.....

that looks terrible. sorry.

 

Sorry about your motor man. Oh well, I guess looking on the bright side of things...you now have the chance to build something bigger and better than before

damn suxs to hear but probably ran good when it was running
