I messed my engine up about a month ago at the track when my tires broke loose and the rpms went over 7000. I got the engine out and tore down last week. It had a bent intake valve on cylinder #5. I know I posted this in the 4.6 section but there is more "wheel and tire" questions in there than anything so I figure there's not too many gear heads in there. Anyway, I can't figure out what caused the valve to bend. The piston and valved look good. It did get very hot in there though because the spark plug was completely melted but the valve didn't have the traditional damage that a burnt valve usually has. I've got a whole different setup for it now though that's going in right now with the total parts list being.

Procharger P-1SC with 12 lb pulley
BBK longtube headers
BBK off road X pipe
Dynomax ultra flo bullet mufflers
Diamond 15cc dish forged pistons
mahle H-beam rods
Patriot performance stage 2 heads
VT stage 2 blower cams
ARP studs and nuts
Nitrous Express 75 shot wet
2 quart fuel cell ( for nitrous only)
low pressure fuel pump and regulator (for nitrous only)
tubular k-member
spec stage 2+ clutch kit
steeda triax shifter
adjustable upper control arms
tubular lower control arms
4.30 gears
moser axles
nos window switch

I want to sell the stock PI heads and cams and the stock rods and pistons. One of the heads needs that one bent valve replaced but other than that it's good.

sounds like a deadly combo!I dunno what caused the plug to melt.

I figured that it must have went lean due to the high rpms. It was only over reved for a split second but maybe that was enough to melt the plug and nothing else. I dunno either for sure though.

Why do you have a seperate fuel cell for the nitrous ?

your going to run 12# of boost and a 75 shot with 4.30 gears?? planning on running a 22" wide slick?

I'm gonna run C16 in the fuel cell for the nitrous for the extra protection. I'm not going over 12 lbs of boost so I'm runnin higher compression than most people with boost do.

I've been runnin 10 lbs of boost launching at 4500 with just a 275 Hoosier drag radial. It doesn't spin now and turns 1.6x 60 foots. I bought sub frame connectors and adjustable upper control arms to try and help it hook with the extra power. We'll see. I've had my car for sale for a while now and had someone interested in it today. I give them a ridiculous price (20,000) and they agreed to it and said a cashiers check would be mailed today for the car and shipping. I told him it wouldn't be ready for another couple of months and he said he was sending the full amount for the car anyway so I wouldn't sell it to anyone else. When the car is done I'm supposed to call his shipping company and pay them with the extra money he sends when they show up to get the car.I hate to do it but for 20,000 I have to let her go.

hes sending you more money then you asked and he wants you to send your car and cash?

maverick771

sounded to me like he was sayin the extra cash was to pay for shipping

contentsunderpressur

Yea, he said he would send the money I ask for the car + money to cover shipping. What's kinda weird though is that I told him the pictures he saw were not right. I've changed the looks of the car alot and he didn't seem to care at all. He didn't even ask about the condition of it or anything.All he cared about was that it didn't get scrached during shipping. The only info I give him was my address and phone #. It just doesn't sound right you know. I know I wouldn't send someone 20,000 and say "go ahead and cash the check and just send me the car in two months or so". I really don't look for anything to show up.

Is he sending a cashiers check? Dude, that is a scam. Search google or something for cashier check scams. You are about to get ripped off!!!!!!!
