Ran at the Shoot Out this past weekend with the NA. First run was a 13.231@106.09. Hmm, looking pretty good. I just take a leisurely run on my first run of the day and already I'm down to the new best time. This could be a good day.

But not so much, lol. Next run, when I shifted into third and pulled, right around 6k, she died. It appears that somehow something got caught in the timing belt. New belts and parts. Quite a bit of beating on the dyno with no problems (212whp), so the only thing I can think of is the oddball case of something, somehow bouncing up into the belt.

Actually got lucky. It appears that the rockers took a beating,



All the intake rockers, busted.

But the valves aren't as bad as I thought;





They actually give the appearance of being normal, lol. I'm sure they are bent, but it looks like I may get away with just the intakes (again. Same thing happened when I had the water pump pulley fall off, lol)

I didn't get a shot of the pistons, but there was really nothing to see. One of the benefits the hardy JE's.

Pfft the rockers look fine

Glad it wasnt more, was looking forward to seeing it run.

At least you win at carnage!

Impressive! Imagine the kind of carnage you're gonna see with 2.5x the power

At least you dropped your best time by almost a 10th of a second

When I heard you had a problem with the belt, I thought the worse for you Mark. Atleast its only a couple of valves and some rocker arms then a cracked head or something bigger you know.

On a side note, congrats on the new best time.

Turd's luck, my friend. Turd's luck.

That sucks, Mark... but congrats on the new best time for your car. We were wondering what happened to you when we didn't see you on Sunday.

Damn that's nasty.... I my friend still calls me a pussy for leaving the timing belt cover on the car...

BTW congrats on the new time!

might want to flush out and clean all the oil passages just to be sure no junk from the rockers is still there....


BTW I will be using my timing cover, but I chopped off the top part so it will be easy to work with the cam gears...

Mine is getting glued to the inspection cover so that I can still bolt it back in place even though it will be cut just above the engine mount. The other thought I had was to use a large hole saw to cut out openings just so that you can see the gears themselves.


You know I was thinking that I could do that too but I already cut the both rear and front timing covers so... but if I wanna be a lil more stealth I will do it so no one sees the adj gears...

Had a friend that did that and also had all the pulleys in aluminum but painted black so no one would notice along with an msd coil also painted block.. lol
