Honda_Clio, NAiL05, gdout90accord, 91accordexr33, oneoffaccord, kamaccord, thanks fellas for the compliments. Thanks for the uplift as well. Shit happened just off a stupid mistake i made. I didn't even get busy with it yet.


LoDollar92LX, 1990HybridCB7, quickangel93, I'll get around to a leak down test or compression test sooner or later. But like I thought yesterday it may just have jumped a couple of teeth on one or both of the cam gears. I did have a chance to mess with it this evening when I got home from work. I just have to gather up the parts and just change it out. Shouldn't take to long to switch out.

Shadow1, Just heard a scrapping noise a pop then loss of power and I shut it off. No crunching of metal or anything like that.

excalibur02, if something happen inside, oh well, I just have to make it better I guess.

kamaccord, yes the fogs are working. Thanks for the compliments to my friend. I'll have her back up as long as theres $$$ of course.

Well here are some pics:

The Cause


The aftermath




The damage was just to the timing belt and cam gear. The intake cam was retarded/skipped aproximatley 5 teeth.

I'll keep everyone posted of course as I tear into it and check over everything.

damn carlos, you win some you lose some. it happens and it sucks. at least it didnt happen at nite time or racing someone. good luck.

[kamaccord]

The car looks great man. I hope there was no damage resulting from the wire. I am looking toward to the both of us attending the upcoming meet in March. Down from the home you most likely going slow enough to prevent any internal damage. The car is absolutely awsome. Buy the way, are all the front end lights working OK? Keep us posted.

[excalibur02]

that sucks to hear carlos! i know you will find out what it damaged. You would probably come back even harder!

[quickangel93]

i dont think you hit any valves. you got low compression pistons right? even if it slipped 2-4 teeth on the gear, your going to be fine. do a compression test first. if its lower than 120, you got problems. if its higher, you survived. get the timing belt cover off and adjust the gears again. also inspect the timing belt for any rips, if its ripped, get a new one.

btw can i ask you. where do you get the peices of pipes you use for the downpipe? i looks really clean. im thinking about making my own downpipe.

[1990HybridCB7]

get ahold of a leakdown tester, and do a leakdown test. if you bent any valves that will tell you exactly what ones...

X2, Hope everything works out for you Carlos.

The ups and downs of modding cars, shit gets frustrating sometimes. do what you gotta do man..... GL

[Boost_Lee]

And now for some bad news. On my way home hit a bump and lost all power after hearing some noise. Thinking it was my turbo was fd, low and behold one FUCKING LOOSE WIRE that wasn't bolted in place fell into my timing belt!!! Timing Belts 3 ... LOS 0. Kinda hard to see but a ground wire is jammed in between the intake cam gear and the timing belt.



So after getting it all together I have to take it apart and see if there was any piston to valve contact. I don't think anything touch but I have to take it all apart to make sure. OOOOOFFF

Oh well at least the Giants won! Sorry Pats fans.

dats dat bull sh** right there man. wtf? shnit. i hope the motor is still good. what kind of noise did you here? hopefully its something you can fix.

[NAiL05]

Damn! At least you got to drive her around. The DP looks good man. Now thats some good ol welding there.

[Honda_Clio]

it looks good man .. srry bout that . it does suck when somethin goes wrong with our pride and joy . hopefully it gets fixed soon and nothin big got damaged .. nice cb btw

[Accord SiR]

Finally got the downpipe extention welded up and installed on Saturday


And don't think that you don't gain any space by using esp.net traction bars. There so much space I can run a 4" downpipe...hint hint


Day was nice today, I finally got a chance to drive it in over 9 months and take some pics.
