The first valve seat snapped off, and bounced around in the cylinder till it went sideways and crushed the spark plug and went threw the piston. The rest of the intake valves smashed into the top of the pistons but the rest didnt break. i can tell because the pistons on the left hand side are deeply indented. How the rest of the valves didnt break with indentations that deep amazes me, that only 1 valve broke. I belive the reason that the valve broke on number 1 cyl was a conjunction of other problems with that valve and or parts attached or guiding that valve. My timing was WAAyyyy off on my car because It felt like I was driving a smart car.

 

my question for you is then: why didn't you reset the timing? you knew it was off, you knew bad things would happen? why not reset it or pay someone else to reset it so you could at least drive the car?

 

because Im a dumbass. yea, I tried timing it like 4 times and same thing happend every time, so I guess my thing to do now is, find a guide to timing this motor, in detail from what to do with the head off, where to set the piston, how to make sure its on its compression stroke, Ive read timing guides before but their not in like full depth or their blunt for me. can some one plese take the time to send me a idiots guide on how to time this easy, or correctly from when I have the head off.

Lets start from me having the motor back in the car, all fixed and new with the head off. some one please send me a guide as what to do exactly from this point including the timing chain guides and tensioners off, from setting the piston to TDC and how to make sure this is set to that, and dont for get this ect. Shit, Ill give some one a free fucking s14 radiatoroem if they type me a full guide from the head deatached and no timing chains or tensioners. I could read how to do this again for the thousandth time from the same sources I have, but the sorces Ive read(and Ive probly read them all,)end up leaving a bunch of shit out.
