i know these pics dont show too much but this is all i can do for now, popped the valve cover out n took some pics...didnt really notice anythign TOO bad, this just makes me believe that its rods, i have a vid. ill post up too

most of the bearings spin except for 1st and 2nd (first is sunken 2nd is higher and does not spin)

 

im unsure as to waht that yellow/orange line round the cam is from

 

What PSI are you running normally, and what did it spike to? what kit is that?

 

^ I think it's just a mark so if there is any damage/scratches over the mark, it would be an easier diagnostic.

 

Looks like a turbonetics, since the WG is Turbonetics.

This is exactly why I won't run without gauges that have an audible warning system.

 

Watching.

 

in my previous experiance with the nissan ka24de they would have a yellow band on the intake cam and a red band for the exhoust. it just denotes what cam is what. may not be the same for toyota though.

 

when the vid is up post it here man... usually the head stock is very strong.. usually the first thing that goes in rods when a boost spike happens..

 

custom kit, 9psi normally spiked to 25+ not sure what to be honest teh gauge went to 25 lol

 

hey bryan do me a favor and check your cam to lifter clearances with a feeler gauge.

 

i just saw the vid... it does not sound good bryan lol

sounds like hell.

 

goddammm... yea bro i dont think thats the head.. i think thats the rod knocking. ouch!!!!

 

After watching the vid I am leaning towards a broken valve stem. I am not sure how the head is assembled on our motors though.

 

WOW bummer man. That sucks.

 

sucks man, hope there's not much damage than what you already see.. good thing is you will have a built motor

 

ouch.. i will never watch that ever again!

 

Haven't seen the vid yet - on the train back home from work.

I'm dreading the vid...

 

2moro I'm gona tow it to my mechanics shop figure out exactly what's wrong, I'll take the bottom end to my cousins machine shop. Pistons rods & cometic head gasket?

 

ARP headstuds
Clevite bearings

Remove your balance shafts now - it's a great time to do it.
