Title: I blew up the samurai!*pics*
Post by: zookiemike on November 28, 2004, 07:35:32 AM

Well i was about 50miles from my house and it ate a valve. I knew it was running lean becouse you could feel it. I need a new motor but it gives me more of a reason too do a clutch ;). Man that made the nasty noise when it swollowed that valve. I was still doing 65 tring to get too the next exit when it slung the rods. I blewer up real nice :P.

Nope, It had oil. I drove it for about a mile with the valve being chewed up . Aperently motors dont take well too eating parts ;D

NO 16valves!  Thats just twice as many valves for the engine to eat! :P

Sorry about your Zuke's heart failure.
