get this, i bent my new valves pretty bad. the lightened flywheel doesnt give you much time to react once its already too late. if i can get around to it, im going to pull the head off tomorrow and order a new set of valves, hopefully it wont be longer than 2-3 weeks before its back on the road.
sucks, but its the price ya pay i guess. its going to be much easier this time around, just the extra expense wasnt planned or appreciated.

btw, it has like... NO compression. turn the key to try starting it, and it sounds like the starter spins freely. hehehehe.
im not too upset about it, its really no different that blowing or breaking anything else on the car - just these happen to be internals. the expense sucks, but the work and downtime arent hard, just annoying. at least i have another CB to drive in the meantime

Haha Ahh I see didnt know you were still running stock ECU. Bud damn that sucks I know how you feel man!!! I did the 3-2 mis shift lol but i immediately put the clutch back in...I checked my peak on my vafc and it said 9260 I drove home slow after that lol. I still need to do a compression test on my car havent done one after that but everything drives fine.

Sorry to hear about the busted car once again.
Do you keep valves in stock by any chance? Like normal people keep an extra quart of oil and anti-freeze in the garage, you've got a headgasket, valves and retainers??
Just messin with ya. But at least when you pull the head, you wont get dirty at all in that clean engine bay!
