have you tried doing a "valve adjustment?"

 

cylinder no1 the one closest to the front looks like it has a little more carbon than the others but im not sure. Do a compression test and see how that goes then maybe like the one above said try and adjust the valves. Is there a check engine light ?

 

check engine light is on everything else is off

 

before I even started the motor, I email lasky racing to see if I needed to adjust the valves. he replied no, its ready to go. Im going to open up the VC and take a look....

he have stop picking up my calls.... ill try again tomorrow..

 

Regardless of me pulling the coils out or not, the motor dies. It just happens to look like the coil is causing the motor to die but its not. Before this video, I pulled one by one and motor didn't die and the sound didn't go away. I forgot to get the camera so that's why I wanted to do it again but the motor started dying again.

we took off the belt to see if that might be the cause. NOPE
next we took off the valve cover to take a look. I notice the rocker assembly have ~1-1.5mm of play. I can move it up and down. is it suppose to be like that?

 

bump.... I want to take care of this. its been months since I get to drive the s2k!!!

 

can someone explain why the motor would die out? idles around 1.1k (normal) during start ups

 

you bought a used block.

you need a new block.

that one is JANKY.

 

what codes are you getting? i'm guessing something to do with the block.

just a guess.
