[QUOTE="Zutz2v, post: 16622044, member: 194836"] General info: 2003 Sonic blue convertible (110,000kms) V2 VORTECH running with. 6rib pulley with 3.12mm Tuned on 94 and capped at 5500rpm with an Anderson power pipe and a blowoff valve. Stock internals 3.73 gears 3inch cat back borla S type Stage 2 racing clutch. Stock tranny Romeo engine And an air freshener for biddazzel The bad and ugly: Was driving with the wife last week and I was coming off a red light, I shifted from 3rd- 4th at 3500rpm and I felt the car running really rough and a loss of power. Now I’ve had the power pipe come off and give me the same effects but it wasn’t the pipe this time. First reaction is I must of spit a plug. So this weekend I I found both cylinders 3-4 are down ( rear passenger side motor). I found 1 plug crushed in on cylinder 3. And 4 was badly burned. So I changed all plugs and coils. Injectors are running fine so I have gas and spark. Engine is still running badly! Buddy of mine points out my tensioner is rattling, and said he’s seen this happen before to other 2vs. To make a long story short we suspect the crappy lashes tensioners and or chain guides let off a piece and took out 2 of my cylinders. So now I either redo my motor or I swap. Covid prices are insane. The Good: I was thinking of rebuilding my motor anyways, and I have a second low Kms motor sitting( has a knock but I can swap some parts). Now, I think I’m leaning more toward rebuilding my motor. Since I’m going to take it apart anyways I was hoping someone could give me some direction. I’ve decided to keep my stock crank cause I don’t want to go to crazy. But I do want to forged my motor and pulley down. Upgrades I need advice on. Lashes/ chain guides. Pistons and rods ( should I bore and go bigger ?) Cams Valves/springs Injectors Main bolt studs ? Am I missing anything else ? Sent from my iPhone using the [url=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=92568]svtperformance.com mobile app[/url] [/QUOTE]
