Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

So she was misfiring earlier today... I took a trip home from school yesterday to take the wheels off, put the stockies back for winter and raise it back up. She was misfiring at full boost with open DP (exhaust got ripped off by a speed bump, so I needed to come home and fix that too)...

So I pulled the plugs and gapped them down to .35 -- they were really inconsistently gapped... So that was the cause right there, spark blowing out. Took her on the higway and man with the new gap she was running so strong. I got to the end of the road and whipped a u-turn -- the higway ends there, it's so nice. Pulled on, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th... 120mph and a subtle "BOOF" is the best way I can describe it... and the power just stopped. Downshifted to fourth, entire road behind me is smoked beyond being able to see. She is making a really weird noise, kind of like a motorcycle... and making zero power. I'm at 4500rpms in third now just to keep speed, and boosting 5lbs. Its hurting. Off the higway, thank god i'm close to home, up the hill... 10psi in 2nd gear just to MAKE it up the hill.

Just compression tested her... 0/180/175/180. No milky oil or coolant... just pulled the valve cover...

I wonder what it is? Guess I'm going to pull the head in the AM... but I've never heard of zero compression before. What do you all think?

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

you suck at life

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

I need some advice on pulling the head... Just a basic overview... I've never pulled the head off before. I am figuring I want to put it at TDC, mark the timing belt to the timing gear... I don't know if I have to pull the cams or not... and does the distributor come off with the head?

I just need the basics and a quick overview of things to look out for when doing it and I will go knock it out real quick...

Thanks
Matt

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

You can leave the distributor on if you want, but I would rather just take it of to get it out of the way. Set timing to TDC, loosen tensioner, take off timing belt, take the valve cover off, take the intake manifold off, don't forget the two 12mm bolts on the bottom. You'll never get it off without removing those. :P Take the exhaust off. Unhook all sensors and hoses. Untorque the head in sequence(refer to manual). Pull head off. :) If it doesn't just want to lift off, don't pry it off. Put your purse down and yank on that bitch.

Tools needed:

Torque wrench
12mm socket and wrench
10mm socket
14mm socket or wrench(for tensioner)
I think that's it....


I can do a SOHC head gasket in about 30 minutes start to finish. I've done so many of those ------- things. :-\

Super cheap for a fellow HMT'er :) (like damn near free)

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

LOL this site is awesome, even when someone blows up there engine ppl just make fun of you lol ;D

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

You fucked that thing up good.

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

now you know why you had ZERO compression, lol.. do it again, build her up baby yah!

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

LOL that's ------- crazy isn't it? I had no idea that could be like that from looking at it from the top.

I wonder what the ---- is up with that... the other three pistons are fine, and i've had so many miles on this setup it makes me suspect an injector failure or the like.

As far as the cyl wall, you can't see it in the pic, but it looks like some aluminum from the piston melted itself to the wall -- so no scratches, but quite the opposite... extra material... I think I'm goiing to be able to hone it off... I'm gonna try to rebuild it ghetto.

If bizzar comes through with these z6 pistons and rods (just emailed him) i'm going to slap it back together hardcore ghetto next week...

Otherwise it's going to be scat rods / vitara pistons and the like and hell boost w/ the 3bar. I like that alternative mucccch better. ;D ;D

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
 

yikes, kinda looks like a yeast infection. lol. i've got some stock pistons/rods layin around if ya need some. pm me if your interested

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P

Re:Yeah... Just definatley blew up the z6 :P
