The TBI motor I built a few years ago has some severe health issues. The piston married the exhaust valve. Match made in heaven but the pushrod was bent out of shape. Cam gagged on the lifter and puked it out.
Fun puns aside it’s a can of bees being kicked around. Head is junk, cracked around the valve guide area, cam is garbage. Good thing it was a cheap comp roller…. Piston is junk. Valve and pushrod and dog bone and spider retainer all trashed. Just lucky the block is ok..
I’m being told it’s fuel related - low engine use and these modern “pump gas” we are being sold. The garbage fuel contaminated the valve and caused it to stick. The rest was mechanical hemorrhaging as a result.
I wouldn’t normally buy that but this this literally has less than 2 miles on it since it came off the dyno 4 years ago. And has just been fired up and run in and out of the garage occasionally whenever I needed that stall….
