Ok... was driving the old B11 around with an E16 in it.. and I was backing off the gas and it gave a sharp tug and then it began to run like crap.. like only firing on 2 cylinders... got it home and I checked everything, and it checked out ok, all the wires were attached, so I took the timing cover off and it was off by one notch at the top.. so I replace the belt, line everything up in order, start it up and it runs better... but it's still acting like its' missing.. its' better than it was but it's still crappy... it will hold an idle now and I can drive it.. but... you get the idea.. I've got a space cylinder head and I'm wondering if I might have bent a valve or something, I heard it's pretty easy to bend a valve if you let that belt slip so.. What do you guys think?? THink my head is F'd? Also, the intake gasket is leaking but it's got no coolant and it's not idleing high and there's no smoke pouring out the tail pipe BECAUSE there's no coolant in it... so what do ya do? I tested the voltage at the spark plug wires and it says that it's only putting out 10,000 volts, but that's with and MSD blaster coil.. think that might be my problem? I'm snowed in here at my g'fs house so I can't work on my car, just wondering if you guys had any ideas.. thanks...
