This thing is far from pretty.

But it did make it to work today with no issue!

Has IE exhaust now and another pass. front wheel bearing.
I think I might have to do the driver's side one next.

Little vibration in the wheel and when I turn right it is still there.
I turn left, it is smooth and quiet.

Oil pan plug is still dripping... :/

New steering rack in.
Lots of other little things fixed.

Track day yesterday, got about ten laps in and killed something in the head.
got towed home.
I'll get pics when i tear down

Did you ever change the timing belt?

They are recommended to be changed every 4-5 years and/or 50k.

My other guess would be took out a rocker, they do snap sometimes.

I'm totally betting on a rocker arm. those things happen, especially when romping on it at a track day

[Minglor]

I pulled the valve cover at the track,
It's on #5.
Even with the lobe of the cam all the way up and the eccentric adjusted down.
There is still an 1/8 inch between the rocker and valve.
Don't know if it is a valve issue/spring issue/rocker issue.

check out the bosses that hold in the rocker shaft, could have cracked a boss and whole shaft in that area is bent up. Or you bent a valve and it is not closing down.

I think it is time to pull the head.....

[Minglor]

ordered me some head gasket and some metric blues....:SNKY:

Didn't Godzirra snap a rocker arm too, at the same track, about the same time last year...?

X...

[t3h JAM]
