SON OF A BIT**!!!!! Another damn BHG

[bluedragon17]

So quite possibly while setting my boost controller tonight i think I blew another HG. Basically i have some small amounts of stem coming out of the exhaust no overheating no coolant loss however a couple times it started sounding like a damn subaru then once I accelerate it would be normal again. My car usually idles around 900-1000ish with everything set to the proper locations. Tonight after one hit on fuel cut it started actin like a subaru at idle then it starts idling at 600-800ish. Plugs are new maybe 1000 miles on em new wires 600 on them fresh oil change, I mean the works nothing should have happened but low and behold I think it popped. Any ideas??? Thanks for the help again all.:1zhelp::3d_frown:

Sounds like you've already diagnosed it to me...

 

[Rennat]

you should check your timing if your idleing at 900-1000....

i idle around 600-700ish...

I think it is and timing is spot on its the ISC valve check valve got a small crack in it i just pulled it out to check. And thanks IJ at least I can count on you for some humor like usual...........but yeah think thats the signs of one??? I want a second opinion though

 

[IJ.]

Got your 2nd opinion

[bluedragon17]

not that one the second opinion one but hey my computer just loaded it so yeah shit. This sucks ass man I just finished one literally 4 months ago. Stupid shitty damn P.O.S. 7M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:3d_frown::cry:

If you blew it in four months it was your fault, not the 7Ms. Don't fault a motor for your mistake.

I know it was mine I just had to say it it made me feel better. It was 110% my fault. Its the boost controller i was using plus the fact that im running NA compression plus boost. The controller i have failed tonight which caused me to over boost and hit fuel cut. Whcih i think i ended up detonating when that happened. Which was the cause of my headgasket failing.

 

[IJ.]

I'm only guessing here that mine has had MUCH more abuse in the last 12 months

You know the drill Chris confirm it is actually a BHG before pushing the alarm button!

 

[bluedragon17]

Yeah I know ive been in the game for a short 3 years ive learned alot more than I think is possible yet I still find time to learn more and more everyday. And figuring it out, thats coming tomorrow when I can go get my block tester kit from my friends house.

Ok all here it is I over boosted and hit fuel cut. But the motor has been blowin oil smoke since i did the swap. Plus my compression test told me everything. Cylinders 2, 4, and 5 have no compression at all. Block test shows no presence of combustion gases present in the cooling system. And there is no oil/ coolant mixture. I also have a slightly spun bearing on number 3. #3 has 34 psi of compression and #6 has 84 psi of compression. Also i broke 2 valve springs. So low and behold motor is toast. A local used engines and trans place called AtTarco can get me a long block for $950+tax and $100 dollar core. New rings, new main and rod bearings, refurbished head new headgasket, the works. Everything from there is on me to put into it and the swap.
