What did you do today to your 3/S?

[sergechronos]

Well, I'm booked for this week, but we can always work a time out to get together and sort it all out.

With the 2.0 and microsd, you don't really need much else to do the actual logging..getting it to read on the other hand..

there is also these threads.

You can just copy/paste the file info into a file on the SD card called logcfg.txt. Its real easy to setup.

Yeah, it is not hard now that the definitions have been figured out.

Pulled front head to inspect pistons. Found this. Opinions would be great. There are no sharp edges etc that could cause hot spots so I think they would probably be ok. But I'd prefer to have someone else with experience give me some advice.








Oh and this is what happens when you get to the point of pulling head bolts then realise you don't have a 10mm hex piece. put a pipe on the end of the allen key LOL.

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

The pistons should be fine. If you are far enough into it, it may make sense to pull them and inspect the ringlangs and skirts.

ouch that sucks. what caused it? had alot of knock? so valves are bent I take it?

Pretty much my thoughts, would need a hone and new rings after pulling, but that's not terribly expensive either. Good time to refresh everything.

Maybe just me but looks like signs of pinging on the pistons (all the little dimples/marks) but that may just be the lighting, or from some other debris bouncing around.. Mine had that when I tore it down, but not quite as bad. I know I had a small lean spot with mine though.

Looks like the intake valves came in coontact to me. Possibly the exhaust in one of the pics.

I got the other Carbon Fiber tail light done and I used the new clear coat i got. I love this new stuff. I don't even have to cut and polish it after it cures. So I'm going to do a coat of the new clear on the other taillight and they will be completed..

Trying to do it on a budget LOL.

Timing belt tensioner pulley bolt failed. Belt came loose. Valves into pistons.

I thought this also. Plus the plugs show lean. The tune is not right. It was tuned with a 20yr old stock fuel system, 9bs and stock SMICs. I have since fitted 13ts, ARC SMICs and changed the entire fuel system to a 340lph pump (hotwired), fuelab FPR and braided lines. Stock FPR was not holding the right pressure nor rising at the right rate I believe (maxed out at 12psi). Now with the right equipment it should get enough fuel. But it needs a retune.

Looks like the intake valves came in contact to me. Possibly the exhaust in one of the pics.

Yeah all intake valves are bent on both heads. Slight contact on 1 exhaust on the front. Haven't pulled the other head yet.

After pulling the rear head I'll slowly turn it and make sure the walls are all ok and everything moves freely with no weird spots then I'll just bolt the spare heads on.
