Default What i have found tear down and build thread

Today I pulled the valve covers plugs and intake valley try cylinder 1 plug didn't wanna come out like it was hitting the piston or valve after working it slowly out it was smashed in a bit so looking down at the intake port I can see a lot of metal shaving around the valve and the cam has scares on it like the piston wouldn't let valve open and probably damaged a lifter in the process don't know for sure until I get the heads off but cylinder 1 again wtf if you guys remember the lifter problem when I did the cam swap it was cylinder 1

pictures of the cam arent detailed enough to make a determination, so far that cam wear looks normal. I see that on stock cams all the time.

Ok a little update put a camera down the spark plug hole this is what I saw








And I need some input from some guys here looking at some wiseco pistons they are plus 7 cc so how will that lower compression? What is rod length do we have? If anyone else had this problem what would you do no matter how much it costs?

On the street on the way home from the dyno but I was just trying to make it home I knew that something wasn't right. The reason a tuner that had really good reviews from friends and people out at the track I think did something wrong and won't admit it he won't return my calls or send me log files so that I believe says it all

I bet he forgot to interpolate your boost ve table and boost enrich tables. Off of your main ve table and enrich table

Have you been able to locate a suitable replacement yet or are you going to try to upgrade the parts in yours? Was the rod bent on cylinder 1?

I looked at your efi live log files, you were commanding 22* of timing advance under boost (165kpa), frankly im amazed you werent knocking more then the logs show. I can barely get 22-23* out of my car NA on the base table with the same stuff he has removed in your tune files, let alone commanding that under boost, which should have been somewhere around 16-17*. These HPT tune files you sent me, the fuel tables are horrendous, i forwarded them to a buddy of mine, he doesnt even know what to say about it. Your commanded PE would have been 22:1 AFR with a stoich value of 29 in these tune files.

Well I think for some shitty reason that the guy that did the tune tried to break it it just doesn't make sense I have beat the crap out of my car for a while broken many transmissions until I got a tep and gmr chain. And 22* of timing is insane the most it's ever ran is 19 with 110 in it
