Re: Bent some valves, drove it around w/out knowing.....is it alright?? 75 shot of fuel I guess... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
Never knew that something like that would of caused such a problem...
So is there any risk in letting the car sit w/the oil thats in it now for about 4 weeks??

Re: Bent some valves, drove it around w/out knowing.....is it alright?? before I let my car sit with oil that may or may not be contaminated .... I would buy cheap *** oil put it in the car and let it sit. When you fix the top end change the oil and put good oil in. Think of it as flushing your engine out.

Re: Bent some valves, drove it around w/out knowing.....is it alright?? There is no way for the gas to get to the crankcase though...
It wouldn't get by the piston rings, even w/a bent valve I'm sure it would all get burnt off...
The N20 noid didn't fail...the line to the bottle wasn't even connected....
The wiring allowed it to come on all the time, but the WOT switch activated it....
