well im not sure really but im hoping i only broke a lifter or rocker arm/or possibly wiped a ex side lobe on my cam.
was racing a golf vr6 gti from a light first gear was fine shifted at 7,400, and as im comming up threw second at about 6,800 rpms the motor got real ruff by the time i got off the gas at 7,100 it sounded like a loud *** tap like a lifter colapsed.reason i think it is something in the valve train is my air fuel gauge was bouncing along with the taps in the engine. well ill find out for sure tom when i get to work ima get the car inside and pull the valve covers and take a look

 

goodluck, dude. mine did something similar to that back in may...i think it was a piston ring that busted (still haven't torn into it that far cause it still runs; pulled the heads but not the crank/pistons). i didn't look at the a/f guage when it happened but i was up probably over 6k rpms, too. let us know what you find, though.

 

sshh dont jinx me, lol it very well could be a pistion. bu8t the way the motor was acting its liek its not opening one of the ex valves im 85% sure it was something in the valve train. But ill know for sure tom

 

well i got into the motor today looks liek the only damge is a bad lifter, got a new set comming overnight delivery,so ill know for sure tom weather or not i hurt anything else

 

cool. hopefully that's all it is.

 

well if its more then just that im going to drop in the 358 sb motor, ahead of schedual, which is gonna suck cause i wanted to get the car painted before i did the swap, but if thats all thats wrong with it.Im serously debating on droping in some dished pistions and building a custom turbo kit , and saving the 358 for the drag only camaro im building, though im sure when tha done it will see some street time lmao

 

woot its fixed got the lifters in and the motor buttoned back up and it runs fine

 

good to hear that cars are back on the road.

 

yeah im glad it wasnt blown up to badly, i wanted a shot at breaking low 14,s with the 2.8 this march, but i may be buying another rs so if i do im gonna leave this one with the 2.8 and turbo it ontop of whats already done to it

 

did you just mill the heads to get to your compression? or did you do a piston swap?

 

awesome, i wish i had been that lucky on mine!

 

Racin like that, ya should of got some fast leak down lifters for it.
