Hey guys, Well I discovered I was running lean. I threw a rod on #5. I hope my head is ok. I think there are a couple bent valves.
***** so this thread has been screwed up by photobucket and then i didnt have time to keep up with it. i have made a new thread to start fresh. Mods you can delete this if you want *********
I feel your pain, when did that happen? Was this with the new K24 on it?

Well FWIW at least it doesn't look like there's valve kiss marks on the piston, do you know the status of those valves yet?

I haven't disassembled the head yet to test. I suspect the intake valves on #5 are bent because it gets harder to turn over by hand when they move. Same portion of the cycle.
It might just be where they're located with relation to other lobes in terms of effort, have you tried going the opposite direction? I've never seen bent valves without kiss marks. I have seen valves halfway embedded in pistons before though haha

I finally got my tune dialed in on my 200 running the 7400, I love the setup. Drives like stock but pulls like crazy. I think a billet wheel is in my future...
haha, thanks man. When I started working here in the back of my mind I was thinking "I may end up building an engine here". Well, one coworker blew up his E36 M3, then I killed the 20vt. I never built an engine before, but here is the place to do it.
oh heck ya! I love aftermarket pistons just for the weight savings.
