Valve Timings...?

[2087]

Hey again folks,

After a long drawn out tale of woe as some of you may know I split my engine down to the bare bones the other day.

SYMPTOMS:

Driving home at mayb 90mph, heard a clunk, massive drop in power, knock link constant spiking to red, eventually car rolled to a stop and refused to start. Then after a tow in to my garage, it started but was making a horrendous clanging noise. Garage recommended new engine.

ONCE WE BROKE THE ENGINE DOWN:

No scoring on the inside of any cylinders. No damage to any cams, valves etc etc. No damage to the bottom end. No damage or play in the big ends, No shrapnel in the sump or oil filter.

SO!

I called Duncan at Hypertech and he mentioned that it sounded like my valve timings had gone ski-wiff. Something aout the hydrolics of the car when coming off and on power can knock the timing by a few teeth or something. Was just wondering has anyone heard of this, and or experienced this? If so any ideas how much it costs (once built back up) to get a garage to sort it?

Cheers

Read my other post on this mate.

Your options:

1: buy a new engine

2: pay someone to fix yours

3: follow my instructions, fix the car yourself

4: sell me the car!!

believe me mate the thought of selling the car is well on the cards. The block itself has done approx 70k miles. Turbo 15k miles (reciepts to proce) superb stainless decatted system with stainless custom exhaust manifold and downpipe. New rad just over a year ago, Loads reciepts for work carried out. I think its possibly just a new crankshaft thats gonna be needed, shich i dont have the tech knowhow, time, patience, money to fix lol.

The car is sitting idle in my garage on Legacy Blackwidow 17's, has 2 brand new tires on and two very good condition ones.

Just out of curiousity, If i rebuild n its still gubbed, much would u give me for it? Car is in lovely nick all round except that it dont wanna start lol.

PM uf u wanna and we can have a wee chat
