https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cob...4ef5967018.jpg 2nd week in a row. Car was making good power last week, probably but 50 laps on it and it did this. System wAs lean due to bad sensor, got all sensors and plugs changed . Car was making good power again, 2 green flag laps, same thing. #3 cylinder. Never over 7k. Same exact thing, two weeks in a row. Anybody got any ideas?? |
Take the intake manifold off and check for debris. Happened to me and i found chunks of piston ring.

Not sure how bad, and I haven't looked in the bore scope, but compared to the others, the top of that piston appears kinda tatteredhttps://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cob...6d69e997ac.jpgGood one

take an hour, tear the head off to confirm whats broken.
my guess is a shortblock. who knows where that metal is now. unless you want to just replace the pistons. |

I swear Ecotec 2.2s are impossible to kill.
|
hahahaha... well it only took me 2 nights... and both were practice... haven't even made a single race lap yet... geez
|
Mine did the same thing man. New plug, ran great, then closed the gap again. At the very least you need a new piston and rings.

Takes 30 mins to pull the head

Get a hold of Mongo or Mr.B if you want a race engine built. Mr.B has some ideas on NA engine builds

looks like you could have had a vacuum leak or a faulty injector
|
