well engine is out and started to take it apart.


huh weird the tensioner didnt let go... what could have happened

drained the oil and no spun rod bearing... lets take the heads off and check,
huh one of the plugs felt really weird coming out.
can anyone tell me whats wrong with the last plug??


couldnt get the cam gear bolts on that head off so gave up for the night
here is a look down the intake port.. why can i see the piston where did the head of the valve go?? dont look good im scurd to take the head off tomorrrow

 

so Jess remember when that cylinder wasnt firing? the valve was bent some how and there was no compression in the cylinder. the head of the valve snapped off and killed the head a piston

 

holy crap!

what cylinder did that spark plug come out of?

 

hey Dave to answer your question about the injectors they are Deutchwerks

 

ahh ok cool.. it was the #2 cylinder( dr side front) remember the one we swapped the coil from my car and tested

 

yeah i remember now

 

those were 565cc right??

 

BKR6E plugs?? Those are some hot plugs. Why not go iridium and a step colder? BKR7EIX to be exact.

I predict a hole in your piston, probably a cracked top ring land and scuffed cylinder wall. So sorry to hear Dave.

 

Hey Dave! That's pretty messed up! I feel your pain Bro! I had that happen to me when I had my 74 Corolla. Head of the valve broke off and was stuck in the piston. Funny thing is though, when I pulled the piston out, there was no damage to the cylinder walls.

 

nah the 6 heat range is fine for a vf39, it wasnt from knock or det. after we did the swap for some reason that cylinder wasnt firing and before we could do a leak down this happened. my guess was the valve was bent from the crash the car was in before and the head broke off from that.

 

yeah it kinda sucks, but i had already written that engine off, i though the timing belt broke so i already have an extra set of heads and i also have a built ej22t block so its all g.
ill take some pics of the head and post them up tonight when i get it off

 

that is correct

 

whats weird is that engine was hit on the passenger side but yet the issue was on the driver side

 

Are those my heads?
When am I going to be able to pick them up. Pm me later. I was going to call you last night.

 

^^I don't think those are the heads you are buying Lo
