Unfortunately I managed to float the valves at high RPM. Much damage.

so are you going to go for more bhp or you replacing like for like and putting the limiter back on???

do you take paypal:rofl:

p.s was it an epic fail or just a small one??

thats a ashame des,

Hope you get the beast all sorted again.

all the best mate,

It was undrivable at full power so even more power would be pointless. It's going to cost 2K just for the valve train........so I can float the valves at 9000+rpm.

Big port head and a lot of machining to make things fit are on the list.

I didn't realise anything was wrong until I lost compression at which point it coasted to a stop. I was really enjoying myself just before it happened.

What exactly does floating the valves entail/mean :confused:

think its were they dont have time to go back in and the piston comes up and hits them?

I am no mech tho its jus a guess

:rofl::rofl:

Weeeeell, it involves a lot of water......

Or

If you are stupid enough to think you can concentrate on not crashing your 400+bhp car and look at the revs (no limiter) at the same time. You get what is now known as the, look what that idiot Des has done now, effect. It's when you over rev the engine to such an extent that the valve springs are not strong enough to shut the valves quickly enough. This leaves the valves in the opening position long enough for all the pistons to come up and hit them. This usually bends all the exhaust valves and if you are really lucky it snaps the heads off. Bits of valve head are now subjected to a continuous piston bashing, destroying the cylinder head and piston. Valve heads don't like this so they look for the nearest exit, the exhaust ports looks a good bet. At the end of the exhaust ports is the exhaust manifold and spinning blade type thing better known as the turbo. The valve heads thing, well I

Oops. :rotz:

nice detailed write up there des,

I was correct in my guess.

did you have a small prob des or is it sorted?

hope so mate its an ace car!

wasn't it a layer 8 issue?

Now you know what I mean by cut and paste.

I bow to your superior copy and pasting abilities. :orb_geek:

Did you have supertechs in yours Des?

I have my own reasons why I ask this question....

Trust me; I can empathise with you.....

Steve

Yes but I took the limiter off and over reved the sob, it's my own fault. :orb_duh:

whats a sob????:P

what sort of Revs do you think you were doin des jus before she went pop?

hope Ste hasnt doen it too!!!

whats a sob????:P

Son of a bitch.

HTH

lol thought it was a typo for SOD

steve you havent done the same have you?????? plaese say no :O:confused:

Er.....

I can't comment at this time, but my car is still off the road........

I'm not a happy chap I tell you

Blimey, it's not looking great for the big BHP boys of Briskoda :(

I hope you both get things sorted out ASAP

Er.....

Tell me the unhappy chap's name is not Supertech.

Tell me the unhappy chap's name is not Supertech.

You got it....

With less than 2k on the clock, fu*ked head, block, valve train, pistons........ It's all in hand, but my god I'm annoyed

would this be coverd by the parts warranty aswell as all the bits it fecked??

really feel for you both good luck the joys of big power
