well... after 8 months of wiggling and shaking and not being tightened, one of my bolts on my skunk2 adjustable cam gears shimmyed itself loose and decided it would be a good idea to fall into the timing belt and get sucked around through the small gear on the crank and shred the belt to shit. luckily it was 1/3 of a mile away from our shop.. so we towed it back behind a truck. i took some pics that i will post tomorrow but i'm too tired now. i should have thought to tighten them while i had the head off.. but it slipped my mind...
i was going very slow at the time, and a leakdown test showed all cylinders still holding air, so let's all hope that no valves got bent... or else i just might have to get ferrea stainless steel ones !!
but the gear is fucked, the timing belt is fucked and one of the guides around the gear is fucked....
the timing belt was ordered about 14 minutes after it broke, and arrived at 5 pm ... but the gear needs to get overnighted and will be in on monday.. this came at a shitty time because i have a dyno appt. for tuesday and i just picked up a pocket programmer and emulator board for my hondata system.
bahhhh!!!
