I was slamming this thing together today at work. Unfortunately didn't take any process pics because I just need to get it done. Shes almost done though. Should have it wrapped up tomorrow. Just need to finish cleaning the VC, install it, new plugs, assemble brakes, strut bolts, wheels, fluids...

Well, I kind of just put my car back to stock awhile back, and have been just commuting in it.. it's got 239k miles now. Ran absolutely great. That is until last Sunday. Just cruising to the ski resort to go boarding and bam. #4 exhaust outer most valve spring snapped, dropping the valve...

Yeah, dang, that's a bunch of work I'm not looking to do right now haha... decided to get a used motor for now, and maybe I'll work on something fun with the old one... I looked today and #4exhaust valve is completely sideways(90) and touching the other valve.. piston took a good hit as well...

Well, story goes, my 2013 si has 239k miles on it.. today it decided to end its life and my exhaust valve spring on cyl 4 broke and proceeded to jam that valve into the head...I'm not sure of piston damage yet, planning to boroscope it tomorrow. Say the bottom end looks good, what can I put on...

Another day of very good results. No issue this am in the cold after sitting overnight. It would almost die if reved cold, until well after the blue light goes out. No issues at lunch.. And there is absolutely a noticeable difference in low end power and response. This thing has been out for...

For sure, I'll keep this updated over the next day or two. Thanks for the info again, made it a breeze. Very easy procedure. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

So all my exhaust was tight. Some tighter than my .006 feeler gauge. So that's odd, I'd expect them to loosen but was once before told I'd probably find them tight. Anyways, intakes varied but average I found them at .011-.013. So those were a bit loose. I set intake to .009 and exhaust to a...

Son wasnt feeling good, so I had to stay home today. Hopefully I'll be able to get it done tomorrow at work. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

Oh wow, still under warranty. Damn. Yeah, Id say the last 40k its had a rougher idle, and i thought i should do it..but now its getting REALLY bad. It was time to check. Yeah, Im driving to work, open hood outside...20*F and then ill push it inside 4 hours later or something and tear in.

Oh for sure. Yeah, the two intakes i checked today were at .012-.013 and that was pulled apart at operating temp. So however long it took to tear it down...like 20 mins or so they are only going to get bigger when cold. So Im already .003-.004 out as is. Im hoping for a complete fix here and...

AWESOME info sir. Thanks Very much for the pages. Ill be pulling it apart at work tomorrow and doing the adjust.

Like the title says. It's pretty cold here in New Hampshire, this past week my idle on startup has gotten much worse. It's had a little stumbly feel for awhile now, and now if you rev it cold she comes down to idle real rough, almost stall rough. No dtcs yet. I checked plugs, look fine. So I...

Those coils are in upside down if you ask me. The spring should go in the stock rubber bottom and the adjuster collar should go around the nub on the body of the car.

Yeah, for sure. I have next week off so I'll be doing some work to her. Supposed to be hot as a mofo too.
