Well thanks for the help there, Unfortunatly I do not have a manual yet, so I am kinda wingin it and reading everything that I can possibly find on it(not much luck there). You have answered a few questions though so I thank you for that.

Well I finally got a chance to tear on it some more, I got the head off, exhaust was a pain in the butt!!!!!!!! Pipe would not cooperate. Two bent valve, so my next question is, how did they both get bent, Intake is stuck open about a 1/4 inch and ehaust is open about 1/2 inch. Is there anywhere online that I can order these or is there any chance that the local dealer might have them? Is there anything else I should do while I am in here? I am assuming that I shouldnt reuse the head gasket?

Timing chain.... chain prokets.. valve seals.. have the cam checked for spec.

all that.

wow how did I **** up 2 valves? I didnt think I ran it that hard.

**phreakboy** · 07-16-2005, 12:12 AM

my thoughts are either (A)It jumped timing or (B) It got revved extremly high and floated the valves. There is markes of the piston from where it hit the valves.

The exaust and intake shouldnt be open at the same time should they?

**phreakboy** · 07-16-2005, 09:49 AM

no they wouldnt be, but it is still possible to float them if it was way over revved.

**Tri-ZNate** · 07-16-2005, 12:36 PM

That is so weird though because it ran fine till I shut it off. If it was over revved it would have shut off durring operation right?

I hold my SX wide open for long periods of time, I'll bet you just jumped time.
