Well most of you know, I was on the front straight of VIR and shifted from what I thought was 3rd to 4th, but caught 2nd. And apparently according to gear calculators puts my car at about 10,136 rpm....ouch.
It threw off a belt and put the belt back on...well the car ran fine....for 5 more laps...tehn it started knocking for some reason....and then before I could pull into pits, around oak tree...the engine died..
Towed back to pits and pulled off the valve cover...nothing look damged...until I tried to turn the timing belt...nope...lol...wouldnt turn.
Did a compression check and number 4 was 165...shit real good! number 3...160...within 10% woohoo...number 3...120...oh boy but it should run...number 1....0....FUCCKK!
Got it towed home today, ill start taking her apart tonight. Probably just some valves damaged. So im deciding between just redoing a head, or doing a built 2.0 liter or doing a built 2.3. I am gonna take my time and do it right which leans me towards built motor, but at the same time I know im gonna miss my car. Right now the big thing is...any damage to rods or pistons...if there is...shit there goes in a built motor...but im not quite sure.
