Hope it doesn't cost ya too much and you don't run into any other damaged things in there. I was thinking though, if you burned a valve how did all the oil get outside of the engine? Wouldn't that just be contained inside the engine and make it run like it is?

If some of you remeber my thread about racing those SRTs, this is the sequil to that. The fastest SRT out there that night (298 whp) beat me pretty good. I told him I want a rematch with race gas. Well it happened, the result.... his car about 3 car lenths behind mine at 145 mph 
Tell me how is it possible for my car to put 3 cars on a 298 whp SRT if it has less than 300 whp (according to Ljavy17)? Anywho, my cars prolly got around 100 whp now since I blew the motor while racing the SRT. I hate GM 
Oh, heres a video of "The War"

Well using the process of elimination we've come to the conclusion that I burned a valve. It doesn't over heat, doesn't smoke, and a 4 spark plugs look perfect with no oil on them, but it still only runs on 3 cylinders. Ferria Ti big bore valves HERE I COME! Glad it wasn't a piston... although I'm replaceing those as well.
Very cool vid BTW.
Damn, what is your rev limiter at? You hit it in 4th?....
Who was reving your engine like that afterwards....that could not of been good.

Ehh, i'm going to argue the wrx sound....To me it sounds more like a BPU Supra with a LIL mix of a wrx/wrx sti sound.
But putting that all aside, blown4banger, I look up to you man. You're always helping out people on this board and it just sucks that this happened to you. But in the end, you will get a laugh out of it, and your engine should be 10 times stronger......Now about those 1/4 mile times....lol jk man

After he cleaned up the mess he drove it home and has started it a few times since. The dipstick hasn't moved and the car doesn't smoke. Looks promising, but he says that since the engine is already open he is gonna build it. Unfortunately the Mahle pistons have the wrong size wrist pin so they won't work with the LSJ rods.

Hey Cam... How far apart is the motor. If you still have it assembled I can get you a compression and leak down tester if you'd like. Let me know. I really dont think its a burnt valve... doesnt really make sense to me.

Why would I UP the compression!?!? I'm already runnin 20 pounds of boost, more compression would be useless without 100+ octane all the time. I want to be able to run pump gas, also after the twin screw I will be able to run over 30 pounds of boost. 8.5:1 pistons + lots of boost = recipie for a VERY pump gas friendly car

30 lbs of boost would be niCe! ..... I don't think you'd be able to do taht with the whipple....i'm guessing you're going the turbo route? Good decision. I want to go that way eventually but I probably won't because of no funds
