I think god hates me

so yeah this morning I was driving down the road in front of my house and all of the sudden my car starts making a ton of racket and stops moving, so I get out and peep under the hood and notice my skunk 2 cam gear laying up by the h2o resivor along while a chunk of my comp cam in it, and a missing timing belt...

moral of the story, i got zero compression in all of my cylinders now, a day after getting it running again :disappoint:

What caused it, the pin in the cam gear and the shaft (you know like the one on your crank pulley) shifted and my car got something like 8 degrees retarded valves hit shit stopped, and things broke.

Damn bro sorry to hear bout your car :( Some luck hUh? :/

Iam sorry hun... sounds like me luck,..join the club babe.

so you are saying that your wooddruff key failed and caused the cam gear to slip and and cause pistons to hit valves causing camshaft to break along with the timing belt??? Damn.

So the piece laying by the resevoir was the cam gear bolted on to a piece of the camshaft?

if it makes you feel any better my rods are bent, I need a new head gasket, i have a major oil leak, and my distributor is toast... But that sucks man, I still love you though :)

doh! that really sucks :(

At least u guys know whats wrong with your cars, i have no fucking clue.

ouch, if it makes u feel any better, i'm 200 bucks in debt, and need more money to finish the ZC off which is making me mad! :(
and i'm stuck with the damn d15b2 :disappoin

That is exactly what happened! and yeah the bolt was still holding the wooddruff key and a nice chunk of the cam in it, and do you realize its about half as much to get a set of aftermarket stainless valves as opposed to stock honda valves.

The joy of cars eh, but what would I do with out my 4G...

god doesn't hate you, all things happen for a reason, maybe your engine needed a rebuild or something :)

Yuck! I bet its not a pretty sight :eek:

yeah most def. not, especially b/c ya know its a brand new comp cam...

Aww man! Looks like you jumped on my boat. Sorry to hear that shit! You were one of my only mini-me buds! (That still had his car running) that REALLY SUCKS so is comp gonna give you a new cam or what? I know that bitch is expensive. I test drove mine to tampa, which is like 2 hrs away, and everything was fine untill I noticed my tac started jumping around and it wouldn't idle right. I was like wtf? Maybe my dizzy came loose since there is only one bolt holding it on. Looked under the hood, and the dizzy is still tight, all the wires are still on, then I look over and the alternator belt had been semi-shredded and flipped over rib-side out. So I am now stuck on the side of an Interstate at midnight without my gun, and a cheap toolset, luckily I was able to turn the belt back around tighten it back down enough to get it to my friends house.

I am sorry about your bad luck. I too know the woes of a having f-ed up honda engine...No car to go to make your 40 mile commute to work in..lose your job...and then when you get a new engine in the damn thing and have in running you have about 900 odd dollars in debt from your bills getting behind and collectors knipping at your heels and calling you every damn day!!..oops sorry I kinda went off there:p Keep your chin up lad and hopefully you'll get a new swap or get it fixed up or something...I wish you good luck! :)

Yeah, it'll all work out eventually, just kinda sucks, and i'm not sure if comp will replace it or not, from what my cousin was telling me comp is a good company about their warranty, because they're such a big company whats a cam to them... hopefully i'll have it running by next weekend again, and I might try and do a mild port job on the head while it's off again

if i were you i would be contacting skunk2 or comp cams and let them know you're sending them the bill :thumbsup:

Yeah that'd be nice, but it was the wooddruff pin that failed, which came from honda, and considering its not neccessarly made for that application it'd be hard to prove anything...

god doesnt hate you, he just baught stock in Super Glue
