replace the retainers, its highlyun likely there is no other damage considering you depressed the clutch immediatly. when your replacing the retianers you cna do the visual inspect and you can do the visual inspect and your answer will be in front of your eyes

 

FML. My CEL came on on the way home just now.

 

Stop driving the car now. If you are getting a CEL, you almost certainly bent a valve. It's probably a misfire CEL.

Sorry to hear about the money shift.

damn that's kidna messed up for the new owner.

 

Just checked the CEL and pretty much just misfiring all around.

P1399, P0301, P0303, P0300.

 

there's no fix in a can for overrevs, tear it apart before something breaks and bust your bottom end

 

Yup, bent valves would be my guess. Run a leak down and find out for sure. The idle fluctuation is a symptom of bent valves. The severity of the idle problem would depend on how many valves are bent.

 

So how does Supertech valves (stock size) w/ stock valve springs and 04 retainers/keepers sound?

Any advantages in going with Supertech as opposed to oem valves?
