I think god hates me

[jeef]

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 t:

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? :/

[britts99si]

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

[RedRacerCivic]

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?

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
