I hate that feeling...

Hoping for the best! I have a very similar setup and haven't had any issues. Been at the track two times and still running well. I would also contact JRE for support. Hoping for the best

brandonrr · 10-09-2012, 09:52 PM

wait, so what broke/failed? i don't think it was mentioned, but i am guessing major valvetrain damage?

CWI · 10-09-2012, 09:58 PM

I have similar mods including cam. Installed the cam at 10K miles, now have 56K miles. No issues at all. Parts occasionally fail whether due to quality or abuse or improper installation.

I had to replace the drive shaft last winter and it was covered on warranty. It was determined my mods had nothing to due with the issue. I have a cool dealer too.

Negative people should just keep their opinions to themselves.

I will let people know what failed when it is fixed. Sorry guys.

The only abuse this car gets is over application of wax

It was a part failure.

I have already decided when my 2013 gets here I will keep her pretty stock and then cam and headers after 5 year warranty.

The codes indicate it was a sensor issue. Doesn't like any major damage. But we will see.

Can't play with the big dogs if you pissing like a puppy.

Good luck with the car sir

Hang in there Max hopefully its not to bad. On another note your car looks and sounds great, I love your stock to cam video. Good luck

Maxspeed · 10-10-2012, 07:54 PM

Thanks 67, but it's real quite right now

Maxspeed · 10-10-2012, 08:18 PM

The timing chain failed. It needs new valves, cam, lifters, timing gear and chain, upper and lower gears, and oil pump.

Hey, it could have been much much worse. You could be needing a new engine. Shit happens and it sucks when it does but you'll be up and running in no time

With all that he needs, how far off is that from a new engine? It sounds pretty bad off to me. But, on the bright side, the engine is fine! It will get fixed and be better than before.
