this is what they did to my boys motor (he is the one sponsering my car (Lyna this is Jer's motor)

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-25-2005, 08:43 PM

what was the lift on these?
Was he using higher grade springs to prevent the piston and valve mating (to stop production of little baby parts)?

It looks like someone set the timing wrong...or the cam was too big. Unless the cam(s) actually broke (something I've never seen but I'm sure it's happened to someone at sometime), it's probably not Skunk2's fault. An engine is like a computer...only as smart as the person using it. Engines and their components can't make their own decisions. That's a shitload of damage though. I hate internal engine work.

Ouch!!! A costly mistake if it wasn't the right cam or wasn't set-up properly. What's he gunna do now?

ebpda9 · 01-25-2005, 10:29 PM

looks to me more like it was a timing issue there, not the cams or valve train's fault.

mavaaoife · 01-25-2005, 10:50 PM

no idea.. he is rebuilding it i think

*AzCivic* · 01-26-2005, 12:20 AM

thats weird, why are two cylinders fine?

ebpda9 · 01-26-2005, 12:28 AM

that's why i am inclined to think about the timing issue: exactly the firing order: 1-3-4-2

IALuder · 01-26-2005, 08:40 AM

Sunk2 sucks period.

but like GT40 said. you got to be as smart as the car.

mavaaoife · 01-26-2005, 09:51 AM

this isnt the first person ive heard with these problems... I asked him about timing issues as well and he told me he had everything tested properly. He said as soon as the vtec hit.. it blew

JDMFantasy2k · 01-26-2005, 10:21 AM

vtec lobes must have been too big for his application or something. just doesn't sound right to me. It seems skunk 2 knows a lot more about building engines than we do since they build 250hp NA b series when called to do so, so something couldn't have been right.

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-26-2005, 11:16 AM

was the engine clayed beforehand?

Precisely what my next question would've been.

*AzCivic* · 01-26-2005, 07:50 PM

ditto.

MissJDM · 01-27-2005, 03:03 AM

Holy Jeebus, Karen. I wonder wtf happened to Jer. I haven't really kept in contact with many from SR except Josh and a few others.

Timing issue.

Is that a fxcking rod I see?

*KwikR6* · 01-27-2005, 10:22 AM

Highly doubt it was the cams fault. To my recollection Skunk2 makes some decent shit...They worked with my buddies B16 that is fully built and has had the shit kicked out of it for 3 years now...

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-27-2005, 12:04 PM

I still say their A-arms are pos

ShEaNy · 01-27-2005, 08:21 PM
