Done for the year

[Boost Addict]

Well, my car is done for the season. Coming home from the Frankenmuth show I got on it a little bit and it just started popping, like it was firing into the exhaust. I guessed it was a bad spring, so I pulled the valve covers and none are broken. After we towed the car home, fired it up again quickly then shut it off, two header pipes were cold as hell. So, I'm stumped. The motor was the last thing I expected to go in the car. Oh well

Sucks to hear that, man.

sure its not just two dead wires or possibly two plugs that went out... i know when my car drops a plug it sounds kinda like poppin in the exhaust and i only notice it when im trying to get on it a little

Doubt it, it pops throughout the whole RPM range. We put air in one cylinder, and could hear it leaking somewhere.

You will almost always hear air leaking somewhere when you put compressed air into a cylinder. Check the simple things first before assuming the worst.

Also, this could be the hated OPTI?

[Boost Addict]

The cylinder we checked only has 50 psi of compression, right about now I wish the OPTI was the problem

how much leak down?

[c0ncEpT]

Check your head gaskets.....

wow man something is way off. even if you had a compression leak the cylinder should still be firing and warming the header up!!

On a brighter note, bought new rims for it today. Atleast it will look good sitting there Thanks to BoostedSol for the KILLER DEAL.
