"THINKS" i bent a valve and my head needs to be rebilt...now my knowledge of dsm's tells me that if i bent a valve i would have heard a shit load of clattering valves across the top of my piston heads....now today i took it away from this guy and brought it to my buddy dave with a respectable shop... he the one who put my motor in...now im waiting to hear from him...but my question from you guys is this... accroding to the info i have provided and also the fact my clutch was slipping.... what could possibally happend cuz im worried about driving my car again before we get hit with snow lol cuz i miss it......so whats the deal fuel related...a short...my clutch...or a new motor? any other things idk let me know... thanks guys!!!!!!! later

Seriously, punctuation is a must. I got a headache half way through that thing.

Re: wowww....

Have you tried looking for a boost leak? If no air is getting through your mas your motor wont run. Try the obvious first, that way you cover all of your bases

If the valve didn't cause too much damage I'm thinking you could theoretically have the car run. But 80% of the time you won't just bend one valve but more like 6-8 which would cause the car to not be able to run at all. Make sure he takes the valve cover off to check. If he doesn't then he's probably just throwing possibilities out there.

Re: wowww....

Have you even done a compression test? Your car died while driving, this is the only info i see in this thread. Maybe your T-belt did slip and if it did more than one valve is toast. I would do a compression test first and go from there.

Maybe a hose blew off...I know when i put my 16g on, my damn LICP would blow off every now and then causing no power and causing my car to die out...Till i finally got some better clamps.
