Hey Guys,

My Timing belt tensioner snapped and now all the valves are bent, the stems dont look that thick, I was thinking just Multigrips and bend them back?

Nah these are off my housemates R33 that I managed to break while I took it for a little squirt to the shops because my WRX was getting painted :(

Just thought I'd share the pics.

not too bad, new valves and you are back in business. Just find a stuffed second hand head with good valves.

Probably cost you about $300 (And the cost of valves) at a head re-conditioner. What are the tops of the pistons like?

Tiny little mark where the vavles hit, didn't even scratch it really, just cleaned it a little, so small it doesn't even come up in the photos.

lol @ bending them back - come on man...

You need to go buy new ones and then ensure they are all fitted correctly it.

If you are not doing the work yourself, its gonna get expensive.

Also as the pistsons have hit the valves, is there any score/marking on them?

guys, I'm pretty sure he's joking..... but 100% it will need new valves (it would be near impossible to bend them back correctly). and probably new valve guides and valve stem seals too. that is of course providing there's no piston damage etc.

bend them back, just be carefull with the exhaust valves as i think they are filled with sodium and that shit hurts if it gets in your eyes.

fill in the holes in the piston crowns with metal putty. As a bonus you can use a bit extra to raise the static compression if you have some left over.

First I lol'd at the thread title and everyone in the office looked at me.

Then I spat my drink out laughing when I got to this part:

Im still recovering....

That's all I have to add.

he owns a WRX, that sounds like its been in a ding... My bets on he is serious :rofl:

+1 to badhairdave, solution made of win!

Ah, that must be where that old saying comes from "dont bend valves with your eyes" :blink:

Wait... what?

You could try cutting the valve stems where they are bent, then sticky taping shaped pop sticks to replace whats missing. That should fix your problem, and add 15-20rwkw.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
