Troubleshoot. No boost build up, possible lifter tick
Hello everyone first time posting. So getting straight to the point.Woke up late for work yesterday been working alot, still warmed up my car though (Note car was due for tune up). Was speeding on the freeway car starts to shudder. Made it to work and inspected the car. symptoms it was showing was misfiring, hard to start, no boost build up, possible lifter tick.So I ended up Changing the spark plugs same day, it took away the misfiring and hard start. Damn spark plug was Melted. noticed lifter tick does not make noise when spark plugs are out maybe melted residue in combustion chamber. ill have to removed valve covers to verify. Going to change motor oil to make sure there isn't any metal shavings. Also still no boost build, if you put pedal to the metal car shudders hard.
Car is running on e85 makes around mid 500hp gs2 cam and springs, retainers. Fp Turbo black, Speed density tune. Forgot to mention no check engine is on. Will continue to update as I work on it this weekend.
Ok so visually inspected heads, lifters, rockers, nothing out the norm. Things to note piston number four looks pretty dark and wet and the new spark plug looks more burnt too . Cylinder 1 2 3 4 looks wet you can see its darker than the others If you look close there looks to be cracked drain ports dont k ow if they are correct
Yoooo Sorry haven't kept up with any updates or pics and stuff thanks for the feed back. So to update to current times turns out the piston ring got to tight blew a chunk off the hea. Ended up getting a new bottom end built and will use the old block to build as a spare or stroke it over. Also ended up doing a balance shaft delete no mini stub. so everything is back together. A problem I currently ran into is turbo. First one got starved second blew both Journal bearing. Checked the oil line its good actuator is good. Don't know what it is I ended up buying a BB FP Black so we will see how it goes. gonna save the old for for the spare motor rebuild too. Pics too follow. Thanks again for the feed back guys. Really appreciate it. Pics to follow.
Old block Cylinder 1 Cracked. Whole new bottom end. Had to get new valves The broken chunks messed them up. Also had to change a lot of tranny parts turns out previous owner beat it to **** changed the configuration to the eve 3 set up I want to say in order to accomadate the twin disk set up. will post pics when I gather the parts.
