MY guess is he used the belt lash adjuster as his tensioner he didn't set tension right , belt jump on first crank..why would he pull the head off if it "just jumped time"? why not re-set belt and do a leak down .. This is shady doings IMO

a leak down test is your only way true way to know for sure what is going on. Yes a bad turbo seal could lead to burnt valves all the excess oil in cylinder can cause a burnt valve. My guess is a burnt valve or something in the valve train when the rings go usually they go you wont have any...

Sorry Joe I have to speak up here. I sent pictures I sent the turbo.. The problem was a bad shaft (had an air bubble dead center of shaft it happens) It was plainly visible you concurred when you saw the picture. As any quality complaint I have ever had with SBR they wouldn't help at all. I lost...

E.T. Motorsports : E.T. MotorsportsI will supply this art work for a funny tuners shirt if you want

If we had some pics of carmage it would be helpful. I am gonna take a stab #1 rod bearing? Hate to say but a lot of SOHC Hondas end up this way (2 in my shop we didn't build) say exact story, 1st guy did all his own work "Per spec" seized up 1500 miles .. When they put motor together didn't...

Reliable is a question of who, what, where, when and How. We have numerous cars slightly modded or insanely modded some stock motor other full builds, I think a good example is my Colt the stock 4g61t went 353,000 miles with the last 150,000 or so whith a 60trim and the last 80,000 of that at...

Make sure coolant and overflow are filled ... drive car hard pull over look at coolant bottle is it boiling overflowing , you have a blown headgasket ,, never heard of re-torquing working.. good luck

This is incorrect if the cylinder is TDC it will not "Kick" we do 3 -4 of these a month I use leakdown more then compression as vital info , You can always turn the boost up if compression is low but a bad leak down will make for a not fun car :) and anything under 15% is considered OK

Did you buy a compression tester or a leak down tester 2 different animals? Compression is compression leak down is apply air pressure of a know amount and see how much stays in cylinder at TDC 0 psi compression is obviously bad but a leak down will tell you where it is going, good luck

Not trying to impress. "Our customers" after 14 years in business seem to be satisfied. We try to make everyone happy, which any shop owner will tell you is impossible. I don't make outlandish claims nor do I bash anyone, it really strikes me as funny that someone whom I have never worked for is...

Chad and those guys up at 3D do a great job way to go guys

I am really not feeling that statement . tuning a gas motor is tuning yea some cars benefit from more timing less timing richer , leaner depending own rod ratio compression ect ect .. but tuning is tuning IMO

As you should with all your car needs

Not the time or place. I have numerous customers from even farther then (757). I have 2 cars from PA right now. So for some distance isn't a huge issue. we have went not crazy #'s but we have went 101mph in the 1/8 on radials and full weight AWD , our Colt trapped 114mph 1/4 with a BONE Stock...

oh never mind it is just too easy

That guy watch out :) That's for the nice words Pete. Your car does seem to run ok ? OH Fyi Wayne wants to do a pull in the new Z06 Procharged pump gas Monster !!! should be fun sure you still wanna do the smaller upgrade ????

If they torqued stock head bolts that much I would lean towards a BLOWN Head gasket .. Stock bolts are torque to yield you over toque the give up .. Re- Torquing a head really won't last ,, may get you home ? and why would they replace ARP's with stock stuff that makes NO sense !!!! leak at...

sounds like fuel cut. Turn boost down and see what happens

YouTube - Kenny Powers and Jeremy ShockeyK-SWISS TUBES STARE DOWN.mpg

oli you just want his # for a date :)

The Lifters will make noise for awhile .. You said brand new head. If it is new Lifters also (Hopefully) the car needs to run for a while to pump them up. usually a spin around the block will help.. if u reused old lifters and didnt bleed them down that may be another issue ..DJ

You did re-hook vac. hose back up for the drive , right?

Back in the Day I made 469whp on a dyno jet awd . at 28psi on a built motor stock 1g manifold and crower stage 4 ( 280/ 272) turbo spooled like molasses and a simply switch to a bolt on 35r netted 80hp at the same boost level

+1 with car running and making noise pull plug wires 1 at a time to figure out if it is a rod or main bearing making noise .

Sounds not good , I would do a "Leak Down" I think maybe you have cracked a ring land , could still show decent compression Leak down will tell the tale . Good LUCK

Might want to check your crank pulley . could be the start :)

The spline count I believe you refer to is Transfer case. You won't have a problem you have the matching pair. The rest is pretty straight foward with the exception of running the bolts thru car for the rear end. Good LUck, They are fun to drive with the exception of the additional cowl shake (...

The crank pulley !!! I believe it is bad

UMMM this is a 4g63t waterpump is most def. not driven off timing belt ..

I still suspect harmonic balancer. Take it off and inspect , better safe then sorry if it comes apart totally while driving NO water pump

MY property line to the west is I-81 wanna know how bad the drivers are come sit in my back yard 5-6 times a year Pegasus (emergancy response helicopter) lands right next to my house!!!

the crank pulley is 2 pieces seperated by rubber , the rubber seperates from pulley with engine running look down at pulley and see if it wobbiling. another way is to pull on pulley with belts off you will know

I would put a real gauge on it before I think all is OK !!

is the light coming on or just the gauge reading low? Put on a real gauge and see what oil pressure really is ...

Sounds like the crank pulley is seperating

DID you try this ? Do you know what a leak down test is ? Does the radiator get the same temp. everywhere (it should) if it doesn't it has a blockage !!

I TOLD YOU TO CHECK IT First as well as your old ECU ... a certain shop was right again imagine that >>>:ohdamn:

My last post on this is.I am gonna assume you know how to get the belt off. Once belt is off and you have compressed tensioner. Everything back in time to tension the belt, turn tensioner pulley using "special" Mitsubishi tool (I do not have. I use a tool I made) if you have it. Set the...

Never implied not to follow instructions. What I was saying is he is worried about a picture and didn't finish reading about getting the correct tension on belt prior to pulling the pin. Hey I guess to each his own. I often wonder why I spend so little time here, then I am reminded within a post...

It is a Guideline for the un-informed. If you read carefully I believe it says to use the specific to at 15ftlbs. maybe ? I have done so many I do them by feel these days.The main thing to get right is the pre-load on the belt. the hydralic "tensioner" isn't a tensioner at all it is more a lash...

A 2g will rub the water pump if you turn it like a 1g.Where the dots are don't matter. The main thing is it doesn't rub and after you turn motor over 7 revolutions you can still put the pin back in tensioner. That is the litmus test

instead of taking it all apart just do a leak down after fixing the Timing belt . no need to remove cams ect ect ..Also remove schrader valve from your compression hose :)

Wow Kevin I am sure that beast is gonna go faster . We need a Bells trip again :)

We are down in Bridgewater VA near JMU (harrisonburg) a few Nova guys know us. If your ever down this way stop on by. We have a few interesting projects all the time mostly DSM , CSM , but you never know what you might see Procharged boat :), Turbo Honda INsight yea the Hybrid LOL all good fun...

so why buy methanol just use window washer fluid

Thanks

Hardware store product is not required to 100% pure they use fillers . Use window washer fluid if you gonna buy paint supply stuff. Any Race gas distributor has it . You will probably want to pick up shipping is costly .

quote "Oh, yes a clogged heater core would do this. It will restrict the flow of coolant throughout the system (so it'd have a tougher time cooling). Just check the two heater hoses going into the firewall and make sure they're "the same temp" "Water does not need to pass thru heater core if...

I have included 2 My talon in the staging lanes at MIR and My all time fav of Casper ( 89 turbo Colt) The most fun you can have on four wheels car :)
