Ouch man looks nasty. Id pull number 5 out and look at getting another piston. That is depending on bore condition of course. Looking at that engine for 500kms it seems to have a lot of carbon build up? Dunno could be the pictures though.

Thanks heaps mate for the offer, I'm just trying think about what I wanna do with this, just got myself a nice daily, so atleast I can get too work now,

The head itself looks pretty mangled in the combustion chamber, so will need to get some local opinion before I consider moving forward again

Depends which way it skips mate. But more then likely it would skip a tooth following the direction of rotation (clockwise from the front) which would mean retardation of which ever cam skipped. On your engine obviously this is intake. Yeah i would be concerened if that carbon is more then a couple though. See if it rubs of with your finger.

butters/zeroyon who is on here and antilag runs that exact set up on his drag S13 (which runs 9's) and around 550rwhp for a few years which is more than needed for a RWD

Considering the cost it's not a bad option :)

Good to hear. I was going to say relying/using this car as a daily seems a bit much. Get a nice cheap daily and take all the pressure off having it driveable all the time.

I feel ya pain though, hopefully its an easy road back to running again.

Its been said, and I will say it again.

Stock motor and whack on your uprated peripherals.

Go hard. Get some joy out of it. Dont worry if you pop the stocky.

Well no real updates but after a call from Paul from red R racing, for all u haters he not that hard to get a hold of, just wait for him to call you, haha, but told me to check the cam caps to make sure that they were installed in the right way, because if they put on the wrong way they will wear on the cam and cause it to bind up, and make the belt jump, unfortunately that was too no avail, but a big thanks to Paul for making the effort to contact me and trying to shed some extra light on the matter.

Which still means unfortunately that apart from some massive timing issue I don't really now what caused the timing issue or the belt to jump,
