- Tue Apr 10, 2007 11:09 pm #5248 240 is still really good numbers in those cylinders!! If the rings were starting to go bad I dont think those numbers would even be that high. Whereas if you bent a valve or two in the bad cylinders, your compression would still be good in the other cylinders (which it is).

I did it in one of my old B16's, went from 5th gear to 2nd, RPM's went to about 10,000 and bent 11 outta 16 valves. Are you possitive you havent had any "bad" mis-shifts??

I'd just hate to see ya do a shit ton of work and be stuck in the same boat that you are.

lulz...

- Wed Apr 11, 2007 12:12 pm #5279 i think im gunna need the luck. lol


im doing the wet compression test tonight to rule out piston and rings and ive decided to replace the 8 valves in the 2 cylinders than have low compression and replace all gaskets and seals...

i really hope that the head doesnt need any machine work doing to it though - the car is my daily drive so i cant afford to have it off the road for very long.

there will be lots of pics over the weekend for your viewing pleasure

Just how high did the RPMs go?? Did the check engine light flash for a sec when it happened? Is that when it seems the car just wasnt all there anymore?

- Wed Apr 11, 2007 1:45 pm #5290 thats when the minnor idle problem started and has gotten worse since then...

didnt notice how high the rpm's went, all happened so fast - it slipped into 3rd, realised what i did wrong then pulled over straight away.

- Wed Apr 11, 2007 1:55 pm #5291 Damn, that blows! I've definately been there though! My personal oppinion is that there is some damage in the head. Dont just start ripping apart your motor, make sure you have all the lil things ready to go. New headgasket, cam seals, valve cover gasket, spark plug o-ring gaskets, Hondabond, and MOST importantly.....torque wrench.

- Wed Apr 11, 2007 4:11 pm #5300 I doubt it, I think that some bent valves will be the worst of it.
