hey so i have a gsr and last night accelerating on the highway i was in third at about 7,500 rpm.. and i just installed a shirt shifter and instead of going into 4th i went into second.. i do have a rev limiter and i guess it didnt work.. i went to exit off the highway and my car just shut off and my battery light and oil light went on.. i checked for any leaks and nothing was leaking.. and my car wouldnt start unless i held the gas too.. and i couldnt let the rpms drop lower than 2000 or the car would turn off again..so i drove it home and started it up this morning.. i dont have to hold the gas anymore but it idles like a muscle car.. and the exaust smells like gas is coming out of it.. im pretty sure my valvetrain is gone.. but if anyone else has any imput to how messed my motor is let me know.. im getting it checked tomorrow too see what the damage is

 

You might have broken an exhaust valve or there is a crack on one of them. Do a compression test.

 

wow english class owned you

You most likely sent your pistons into your valves and did some serious damage that either a rebuild or replacement are your only options.

 

aww, you made it kiss!!! :P im gonna assume what starboy said happened..my buddy did the exact same thing... but his tranny didnt hold up with it as well lol

 

haha ya i made this thread up before work so i was in a rush and looks like a 5 year old wrote it.. but do you think my pistons will be ok? and im doing a compression test tomorrow

 

what did his tranny do after?? i was able to drive home and the tranny seemed fine..

 

well you got lucky on yours, i beleive he went to go into third tho and put it in first while accelerating..., but it put a whole through the casing lol

 

shitt.. well thanks for the help.. i just know im going to blow alot of cash i dont have now to fix it lol

 

yes and no.. what motors in the .. teggy i assume..

 

nvm just read the first line.. GSR .. :P

 

i was gonna say, depending on your motor you can go buy a new one and slap it on.. but GSR arnt cheap :S

 

^Technically.. they are actually. A lot cheaper then a rebuild.

 

oh yah, garunteed but either way.. expensive... to me anyway haha

 

Same thing happened to my b16a. I took the head apart and found one of the exhaust valves was broken and the piston in that cylinder was a lot more loose compared to the other three. So now im getting the whole block freshly rebuilt but mortgage is killing me at the moment which is more important.

If you want the block or head rebuilt or anything done to it, take it to GORD BUSH.
He is really busy at the moment but you will be satisfied with his work in the end.

 

ya i got 0,110,30,0 compression lol but my motor is being done to the guy who does all my work.. and im getting my block bored out at this good machine shop by my house.. they do a good job.. im doing itr 81.5mm pistons.. eagle rods, ACl engine bearings.. apr head studs and skunk2 valvetrain with pro 1 cams/cam gears.. i need the car done soon cuz its my only car and school starts soon.. so i had to get it done asap.. but good luck anyways

 

Wow, that was a lot worse than mine. lol If you have enough money, get ITB's you wont be disappointed and it'll sound really nice. Or you can change them to twin carbs, i knew someone had that done to a H22 and it sounded really nice aswell.
