OK ladies, time to get back on topic.

 

Let's see some pictures of the valves and the tops of the pistons.

Also, do you have the solid shifter bushings. They make a HUGE difference on the shifter feel - especially combined with a Neuspeed short shifter kit.

 

since this is about my motor and performance will 16's clear our brakes?

 

yea they will, im trying to get a pair of light weight 16s for the track myself.

 

my car came stock w/ 16 inch rims, so they should clear our stock brake setup. i guess rim design could play a role in if all 16's will clear or not, but not sure.

heh, car was brand new (to me) when i took these pics.

 

whats the weight difference between CL-P wheels and CL-S wheels?

 

i didnt think 16's would clear but i guess they do. now i can get some gramlight's or enkei's for track. oh btw does anyone know the stock center bore on the stock rims?

 

im planning on getting some wedsports but they're 18x8.5 with a 35+ offset. Will the offset be ok?

 

I dont know, I still want to know the weight difference between the CLP and CLS wheels

 

 

got the same problem 3 weeks ago my car been at the dealer since then, extended warranty trying to figure out what cause the problem and after opening the head they found the bearing out of the rocker arm shatter inside the engine and i have 3 bent valves at 73K so i'm waiting for the extended warranty to start fixing the problem even though i have 08 TL Loaner but i want my 6Speed CL Good luck with your problem

 

lol you sound like me a couple weeks ago but I had 12 bent valves and when my bearing shattered from the rocker the forks sat on the cam and tore into it.

 

so pissed right now, The extended warranty denied the claim saying that i over rev my engine and that cause the problem i mean how in the world they can tell that i over rev and claiming that i have a lower suspension will void the Warranty
B.S i dont know what to do

 

The ECU has historical data that tells all the highes condition that the car has ever hit like highest speed and highest rev. This data can not be erased by just unplugging the battery and it doesnt even give dates to tell when exavtly it happend

 

are u sure ????

 

my valves were bent because at some point the car was over revved to 8,600k

 

Damnit, I just want some pics of the VALVES

 

lol that cat looks funny in the bottom pic.

 

i do too thats why im gonna ask for your guys help. i'm going to attempt to do this myself. i've taken a motor apart before, valve cover gaskets easy, now the tricky part. if anyone can list the steps ill be able to pull this off myself.
