I think it's time to rebuild my engine.. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The other day I posted that my car was misfiring and didn't know why. Well I figured out that cylinder 4 has no compression at all and the intake valve is also stuck open. We didn't take the head off yet to find out exactly why it's stuck yet. But we think it could possibly be a piece of my piston that did the damage to the valve. So if that's the case were gonna have to pull the engine out and I'm going to bore it over and put forged pistons. I'll let you guys know what exactly were going to be doing later on in the week

Good luck. Hopefully it didn't do too much wall damage if a piston broke. Can't bore these motors much at all, especially on higher HP builds.

Damn sorry bud. But man that didn't last long, who did the tune?

stick a camera in the spark plug hole, that should give you an idea of the damage that has been done.
