Well now... ok to start off first i dont boost past like 9psi is what i set it at. i have boosted it at like 13psi the highest i believe maybe a few times. since thats out of the way so you guys dont think i beat it to the ground. well i was driving to my friends work and i boosted about 10lbs and i let off the gas to stop at a stop sign. after a sec i let off the car backfired, not extremely loud but noticable... so i figure ok.. so i kept driving and i gave it about half throttle at about 4-5k rpms and hitting this loud knocking noise!! so i baby till i got to my friends work (happen to be Murrays Automotive) lol. have my friend come out and tells me its most likely a stretched rod?! he says possibly a bent valve? i pulled the dipstick and there was no metal shavings.. next plan is to pull the oil pan and check for pieces. So basically the car i thought was perfect and daily driver capable is no longer!! now i need to buy a rebuild kit and god dangit!! errrr ahhhH!!
Let me know what you guys think and if you have ever had this problem and what it was? think i could have jumped the timing belt a couple notches? if you guys need anymore info let me know. ill work on the oil pan tomorrow night.. looks like i need to take alot of stuff off to get the pan off?
AHH!! damn DSM's but i love them
