Thanks for the replies,

I hope the guide is not fucked, the mark on the piston is just a little valve polishing I will try to check it out better. Your close JD It is a shim and bucket setup, what might have happened is that if the valve lash gets to wide.The shim will get bouncing around in there untill it pops out and then it will push the retainer down alowing the keepers to pop out. the set up is rev limted to around 10500 rpm.

 

Crazy. The only cars like that I currently deal with are Toyotas, and they don't trust the shim under buckets past 8K. Currently waiting on a Supra and a MR2 to have their special order MR-S solid buckets come in so I can tune them, oddly enough.

 

solution to polar bears drowning in the north pole? lol

to the OP nice build on the sled. Ive wanted one for a long time. They are alot of fun to cruise around on, Ive seen people show up to work on sleds during bad weather here in NH lol.

 

So parts are on the way, for having a total dead clyinder it is a cheap fix 40.00 for a valve and 35.00 for the head gasket. Should have it running this weekend.

I will try to get a video up it might be just spinning the track in the shop though, man it is like some ------- tossed Alberta in a ------ oven, it is melting faster than a popsicle with a stripper sitting on it

 

hahha no ---- hey! I just washed my truck and its sloppy as hell out.

 

Did you wrap the exhaust? I doubt its seperated from the tunnel, the snow being thrown on it would take away from the amount of heat to turn the turbine wheel

 

Demon sled! Should put a slick track on it an take it down the 1/8th hahah.

 

now thats what im talking about!!!

 

Keep up the good work
