pics of the destruction

[1fstavant]

as some of you know, i recently got to drop one of my exhaust valves into cyl 4 and well the outcome was not great but not bad the cylinder wall didnt get destroyed so i was able to save some money in labor and time...but heres what a valve will do to your car if it breaks....



this lil fer did all this damage:

[blmlozz]

o...m...g

how long did the engine run after it droped?

[1fstavant]

about 20 seconds

[audiness]

W.O.W.!

new motor. that thing is done. Sorry

[somebody5788]

no new head and full rebuild...

[1fstavant]

already in progress...only downfall no 2.0 too broke from building it originally

[317ssayzarc]

Seen that too many times... Pay for the exhaust valves or pay more for them later

Sure youve learned, hopefully people will learn from you and switch from the sodium filled valves if they want to make real power

Best carnage pics I seen in a while...

thanks for the pics.... I feared this would happen to me for a long time.

[oneohone]

So how does this happen again?

[A4ringedONE8T]

Holy hell! Good luck with the rebuild

[the_pirate]

ewww dats nasty! good luck!

No doubt, we should make a carnage thread lol

sucks,i was too broke also when my timing belt broke so i got a new head and oem rebuild. But at least you'll basically have a new motor.........im only 30.000 miles after my full rebuild.

^x2

This exact thing happened to me when my belt dropped 3-4 teeth. Was it the belt or do our valves just dropped once in a while.

(just saw your other post 370hp...) wow...

Should have put some scat rods in there.

[1fstavant]

well basically what i think happend was a misshift resulted in valve float and when the valve came down it bent and eventually just snaped off the valve stem...but idk thats my theory could have just been age and heat

The horrors of owning a manual.

[Euro-Tuner]

omfg, was the valve "pinging" around in there, I mean, could you hear it? Im terrified to remove my head tonight...so the cylinder walls were ok? it only took 20 seconds to do that, how were you driving it when it happened?

[Lazer Viking]

holeeeeee chit

good luck with that

[big_greasy_taco]

Guess ill be putting some better valves in my motor when I build her!

[1fstavant]

euro...the worst part was that i wasnt even getting on it maybe 2to3k and all i heard till the motor stoped was a metallic clanking...clank clank clank type deal

[Beemer832]

i went with incollnel (spelling) exhaust valves that I got from mike2ptzero. only issue ive had so far is the damn guide seals are leaking causing oil consumption. that will be fixed soon so i can really start beating on this engine, not like i havent already... mwahahahahaha

[aaronamerica]

this samething happened to me long time ago, my timing belt tensioner failed

[djwimbo]

No doubt, we should make a carnage thread lol

Word.

I got some to add. No engine carnage though. I doubt we could get it stickied, but it would be good to keep around.

lol I got some clutch carnage ill post up from this guys clutch I did today

[1fstavant]

some of the new build again...
new pistons vrs old:

fmic without bumper:

and the crank:

ran into a slight problem with the mahle pistons, they were hitting the oil squirters so there at qed getting clearanced to fit...should have more pics by next week

[A4Quattro > all]

Damn. That's distruction all right.

thanks for the pics.... I feared this would happen to me for a long time.

I've got pics of what appears to be broken cams in a 1.8T due to oil sludge problems. Which reminds me. I need to contact that guy and get some more pics and proof that the cams did separate in two (or what probably happened was the bearing caps sheared and broke).

Seen that too many times... Pay for the exhaust valves or pay more for them later

Sure youve learned, hopefully people will learn from you and switch from the sodium filled valves if they want to make real power

Thank you for that information. Makes me so happy I listened and put Inconel exhaust valves in my cylinder head.

[1fstavant]

mahle pistons not going in...got a set of tt225 pistons bob said there roughly a 8.7:1 cr but advertised as 9.0:1, along with the msibc from gizzmo, and all new brakes so i can actually stop alittle faster -still stock just slotted and drilled... so the car should be done with in the week or mid next week
::crosses finger::

then breaking it in and if im lucky running at etown the 19th....or a dyno day

[lowandslow4now]

That is going to be sick whats the new numbers you shooting for

[1fstavant]

what ever it makes...wont find out till i get to a dyno love to see 400+ but who knows

I have a set of those pistons in my motor right now.

[Don Supreme]

A real dyno this time...

P.S. You aren't changing anything to make more power, just taking care of some possible failure points and lowering compression so you can avoid some detonation....

You need some head tricks for more power or another turbo.

[1fstavant]

yea i know...shoulda went 2.0 ...i realize i wont be making any more power besides reving alil faster due to lighter components...however i still hold my view that the dyno was low reading so once again hopefully 4
--but yes a real dyno either ams or one right in ossining

I might have missed it, what lighter components besides the pistons? Are you doing a TI retainer setup?

[1fstavant]

supertech intake and exhaust valves(standard size), cat springs, rosten retainers

OK, so Ti retainers, that other stuff isn't really any lighter, but yeah... I just hope the 50 trim on stock cam can flow @ 8k.

[1fstavant]

you and me both...cams may be in the work tho if i can get this vr6 back into my car without assistance from a shop...500 extra and thats some eurospec cams-also any info on these
