tclhenstra Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 ok so i just rebuilt my sr20det. it was sitting in a buddy's back yard for about 16months. i finished the build a while ago but never really noticed anything. before i even decided to crank it over in the car, i notice on the #3 intake valve you get some added resistance and then it "springs" off the valve lash. scared the sh#@ out of me the first time trying to find the problem. but i'm positive that's NOT supposed to do that. no other lashes or lobes do this. ONLY the intake and only in it's cycle. just need idea's i'm stumped. i'm probably going to just pull the motor out of the vehicle anyways to redo tranny. then probably take the head off. please help. tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 YOu definitly have some sort of valve problem. When building motors, be sure to check and triple check any and EVERY clearnce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 be sure to write things down too. so many people say they've blue printed an engine, but they don't have the blue prints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
