i think i blew my motor
Well i was coming back from SF and a g35 pulled up and wanted to run. So i skipped 5th and tried to get it into 4th but accidentally got it into 2nd. car revved but when i felt the car jerk back i pulled it back out of 2nd. i took the next exit and all i can hear is my motor ticking really loud as if i either bent a valve or rod. anyone ever done this before over rev the motor? what do you guys think the problem is from the ticking? btw im about ready to drop in my 3.5

no question bent the valves. Just replaced 12 of mines plus a damaged CAM and exhaust rocker because the same thing was done to my car and it hit 8,6k.

Blown is Best
Ouch. Over rev'ed and bent valves is what they'll probably find when it's torn down. Good time to do your 3.5L build. Go thoroughly through the heads so they're nice and fresh for your new motor.
after the swap.

well i pulled the head off nothing major 6 bent valves. everything else looks ok still. Im going to send my head out to the machine shop for inspection and maybe for a port and polish and a mill down. j35a4 block is getting the pistons replaced with my stock cl-s pistons. oem clutch should be coming in anytime next week. now i gotta look for a apexi neo. oh btw we'll see who is the noob shifter after i track her down in bakersfield the desert run. both head and bottom block will be hot tanked.

Wow man that is crazy, I didn't know over reving could bend valves that easily?!?! Then again, I don't see how I could ever accidentaly drop into 2nd or put my RPMs that high. Wouldn't the feel of the clutch warn you before you drop it in the gear?

agreed, r cars are really easy to put in gear, but if he just recently got the car then i could see why because the gears are very close together

I'm not going to sit too high on my horse though, i've put my (old) car in the wrong gear on accident, but i knew as soon as i let the clutch out and put it back in before it could over rev. Be nice to your new 3.5

WOW, ..........I have done that several times(off course by mistake) but I guess I am cool becos the auto computer does not let u down shift enuff to overev ur engine. I have dropped from 3to 2 by mistake several times in SS and the computer just flashes with the number of the gear u are in warning u that it is a bad idea.
i guess that where the 5at shines.

again, you can have a fast ass car after the 3.5l conversion but it won't stop you from over-revving like a noob and blowing (and swallowing/spitting)that engine too. learn how to shift then come back and yap about times and dynos and track stats. and learn to kick back and not get asshurt by people bustng your balls...it's the internet.

then you shouldnt try to back up your boy let him speak for himself. i can care less about sharing my shit with u guys. i've never had people shit talking to me. go ahead and ban me i can give a shit i have my good feedbacks and i know people from this forum also. i've had my share of info helping people out but when you guys starting trying to be funny when this is suppose to be a information thread doesnt help me out a bit. i asked for help not for people to be smart asses. if he can repeat the joke i can shut his ass up. go for it grandpa.

lol man if you want to get all mad that's OK everyone here knows I am just poking a little fun at you..........and you just made yourself look like an idiot...
now that you brought age into it.......do you REALLY think you can "shut his ass up"? talk about being immature.......lol
you want help? go to driving school and learn how to properly drive a stick.......then you won't have to spend thousands repairing a motor that should have a lifespan of about 400-500K.....better yet show some common sense and quit racing on the streets.........
Good luck man, you're gonna need it..........

i wouldnt be talking if u dont even have a 6 speed you got an auto it cant ever happen to you because you will never be able to drive the car the way i do and when that time comes when you get a 6 speed then you can start talking. you probably never even drove one so you dont even have any say in how close the gearing is in the car.

didn't anybody ever tell you sticks and stones may break your bones but words can never hurt you? kick back bro. it's just a forum. nobody wants to get you banned or pissed or nothing. just having some fun. most of us post from work or school or somewhere boring. gotta entertain ourselves no?

dude. i dont even know this guy. i dont think i've seen him post before. but it's just common sense. and as far as shit talking...maybe san jose is a little too gay (as in happy). need to grow some thick skin homeboy. unless you're high power or something. come out to LA in some of our bad neighborhoods and respond to a blood or an 18th streeter like you are to this poor guy. didn't anybody ever tell you sticks and stones may break your bones but words can never hurt you? kick back bro. it's just a forum. nobody wants to get you banned or pissed or nothing. just having some fun. most of us post from work or school or somewhere boring. gotta entertain ourselves no?
