prob collapsed piston, had too much clearance but bought the eng with these pistons didnt have enough $ back then to change to oversize ones and we thought it would last longer than it has, but obviously not. So getting some custom JE's made.

just make sure you havnt melted the electrode on your spark plug .this will make it run on 3 cyl ,i had mine dynoed and melted 2 platium plugs ,have gone down to 2 colder in spark plugs to stop melting the ends off

yeah thats not the problem, already running cold plugs, getting a bit oil on them though.

yea you bloody #$%#^$

started pulling everything off the eng ready for the head to come off tomorrow night maybe.

right, seems like im pretty lucky once again.
Collets fell off the valve, piston bent the valve to a nice S bend.
Basically its valved bounced, the springs cant hold the valves for this amount of boost.
So some stronger valve springs will be going in soon

.
Anyone know where to get them for a good price?

by **AceSniper** » Sat Jul 15, 2006 6:14 pm

TRD springs from revhead

there stiffer than toda
but u gota wait for them ex japan :/
could try franklin cams they also sell TRD springs

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 6:15 pm

Geez you're bloody lucky alright! Fingers crossed all the niggles will be fixed once the valve springs are done.

by **IH8TEC** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 10:10 pm

and my cars out and driving round now

so more room in the shop

by **Bazda** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 10:42 pm

here some pics of the bent valve, and you can also see the mark on the piston where its hit.
Just as well they are tiny valves and they only just hit my pistons so no real damage to the pistons.
