My car has been running on three cylinders so I put her up for a week and replaced all the basic stuff like plugs, wires, and coil packs. It didnt do much so I took the car to the dealer and had them run a diagnostic. Sure enough my valves got burnt up in the #2 cylinder. So now Im out a car.

To make things even worse my friend Nick and I tried to install an Evo 16G on his AWD convertable Eclipse with no such luck. We didnt have a 1g style oil return line so its still in my garage just waiting for more power and fuel cut.

How depressing can a day get for DSM's?
 
Stock boost. Now I have an excuse to buid that 6 bolt I wanted.
 
all of a sudden burned up some valveS?????? something is DEFENTLY not right.
 
Yea I know, now. I might try and sell the car as is or Ill buy another car to get me around in till I can save up enough to build the motor.
 
Ive been getting lots of PM's on the car since I wrote this. Ill sell the car with the spare 6 bolt motor to the first person that shows me $3,500. That is all...
 
It's a couple of valves. No biggie. Pull the head and have it rebuilt. Plop it back on and be done with it. You may actually learn something. :)
 
Too many people give up on DSMs over small things. Find yourself a nice hooptie to roll around in till you fix the DSM. My friend has a sweet 85 Mitsu Mirage... that thing must have at least 50hp... Cost him like $500 I think, gonna set that joint on dubs... :)
 
Im buying a 88 civic tomarrow. The guy Im buying it from is my friends dad, and he is the original owner. I really want a galant though, thats the only reason Im thinking of selling my 2g. I dont know, Ill figure it out.
