Time to vent!
While fixing up my tune today I had the good old Talon going in third. Right at red-line I go to shift to fourth but of course I miss and pop it into second . I lunge towards my windshield and hear two loud BANG!s that seem to come from behind me. Next thing you know shes dead and I'm trying to roll home. I can crank the engine smoothly but it wont turn over. Sounds like bent valves to me so I'm going to check compression and timing tomorrow morning, might drop the oil pan as well.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
