Title: Bent valve
Post by: chaosmotox on June 19, 2014, 03:23:32 PM

Looks like I bent a valve on my new motor this past weekend. Anyone want to buy a challenger? Don't have money to fix it.

Not sure what happened. I was running it at the last socaljetboat meet last week heard a pop and the motor shut off. Brad had to tow me in. Just did a compression test and the 2nd cyl has 0 compression.
