engine probs. and starting problem
anwyays today i raced a buddies GSR powered civic hatch. bolt ons etcc. i got a B13 SR20 turbo. tubular mani. 2.5 to 3' exhaust. etcc .. 7 psi made 286 WHp 239 torque right now its at 11 psi. anwyasy i popped on some BFG 225-50-R15 Gforce Drag radials today. i tried launchin it. and i tried doin a 2nd gear burnout. dont think it happend. *** i think i roasted my clutchnet copperfiber clutch its got about 3K miles on it.
for the nedt 30 min it just kept on slipping. didnt wanan grab at all. if i tried to slip teh clutch pedal it would slip the damn clutch all teh way . its a new clutch $&89#@
anwyays he wanted to race and i driven aroun nicely for a lil while so i figure the clutch cooled down. i gave him a run. tried to launch first. slipped. 2nd slip . just riding redline. after that we stopped. and i drove back to my gf house and i noticed it ticked a lot. actually sounded like a marble ratling inside the motor. it would only happen at 3K though. i just drove the car back home to my hosue
th rattling be at 3K- 3500. anywhere else it kinda deadens down or is non existent. rollin thru the gears somtiems it'd go away.
i was thinking i got some rod knock. but then i also think that maybe one of my rocker arms got kicked off ? some input would be great
also earlier in the day the car was a bitch to start, at first it was fine. i drove to my buddies to pick up a wideband. on teh way home i went to get some gas. this is where it started. the car didnt want to start. crank crank crank crank crank . f-ck ~ ! sat ther efor 30 min. lettin it cool off n crank. finally i asked someone to give me a push start and it starts up. i get back to the shop. and shut the car off. each time .. abouty 4-5 times its hard to start. after the race with my buddy . same thing hard to start but it'd eventually get there. any clues to whyh ? thanks
