Re: Need Rope, Valve drop? Spring collapse? *Vids & pics*
 

checked on the first vid, why are the number 3 valves clicking when you move the rocker up/down. do you not set the last or had you already loosened them? .008'' doesnt make that much of on audible click.

I reuse Cometics. As long as everything is still flat you'll be fine.

You should've just burnt a joint...you would've felt alot better.

Are we talking valves or valvetrain here?

Re: Need Rope, Valve drop? Spring collapse? *Vids & pics*
 

The valves themselves. I've never seen a Supertech spring break, or retainer split, and the stuff is used a lot. I'm not as inclined to trust them as I am Ferrea, given the situation, you know.

I am unsure. But the valves were set twice. Once when the cams were installed as to Skunk2 Specs.

Tappet Clearance:
Intake: 0.007” (cold)
Exhaust: 0.008” (cold)

Once more when the car had been running for around an hour. I had planned on setting them again when the rings had been seated properly and the oil changed( after figuring out the random fuel cut which I had solved)

What the ----, buy the best parts and the ---- is still ------- garbage. Can you imagine if we were not idling and I was somewhere around 9500rpm/25lbs boost when this ---- let go? I had another problem with this motor when it came from Laskey. The rings on piston #4 were all lined up together and not staggered like ever other motor in the history of fossil fuels. I thought this ---- was invincible thats why I bought it, to avoid ---- like this. I am not a ------- Honda guru genius so I figured let someone else who does this everyday and apparently has a SFWD racecar. The thing is I don't know all the Honda tricks/shortcuts yet because this is my first build that requires skill, so learning is a slow process. I need some adult supervision basically. Almost to the point of parking the car, throwing a tarp over it and building a stock D till I can do this ---- by myself.

* Good news, the fuel cut issue is solved on stock injectors & the injector driver is wired correctly so when I re-install the head I can throw the big injectors in, and I also have a Hondata intake mani gasket so I guess everything is technically re-usable* The shitty part is that it takes 2 people 15 minutes to pull that ------- turbo out.

Looks like one set of valves fucked up. collateral damage to the other pistons. came out the intake, into the intake manifold into the other pistons.


How the ---- did this happen so quick. as soon as ---- started to hit the fan I shut the car off. and we pushed it back. all this at max 2000rpm
