Yes, this was the only spring that broke. The parts will be in tomorrow and they should have it fixed. They said they have a scope and can check the piston and underside of the valve.
Also, the service writer (i trust him) told me that this is a freewheeling motor and not an interference...
Leak down and compression would be good and easy but how do I know if the piston has been hit?
Is this an interference motor? I would expect that if you lost an exhaust spring, the valve could fall down into the cylinder?
First, my car has 20k on it and have had it for almost exactly 2 years.
Has anyone broken a valve spring? Today on my way to work I felt like my car may have misfired a couple times, then the check engine light came on flashing, then the car died. I pulled over started again and it idled...
Corsa sport is solid. I probably have 10,000 miles with my sport catback and I have never been annoyed by it being loud at cruising speed. I've been on many 300 mile road trips with the wife and no issues at all. That said I wouldn't want it any louder. I think this is about the limit of...
Ok fellas, my car was just in for an airbag light and I also mentioned that when the HVAC is on floor only I also get air coming out of the defrost and a fair amount. Not like some bleeds for circulation but like its 50-50 between the two.
So the service guy says they will take a look at...
Corsa sport isn't a 9 but I wouldn't want it any louder. My last mustang was really loud and it got old quick. For a summer only car it's not bad but as a DD you really need to step it back just because you will have those times when you don't want to be obnoxious. Like when a cop is next to...
Hi all, I have noticed this for a while now and wonder if its normal or cause for concern. It happens when shifting but the best way I have been able to identify this feeling is by depressing the clutch and revving the engin. When I do this I can feel the revs in the clutch pedal. It's a...
It would be nice if you carried the Steeda Clutch spring. If you sell this for the same price with free shipping I'll buy one today! Let me know.

I've been fortunate enough to have mostly positive experiences with law enforcement. Sure, I've had some tickets along the way but nothing I didn't deserve. For me it's always helped to be cool calm and collected. Don't encrominate yourself but have a conversation with them and be open...
Heading to lunch with a budy today and stomped on it turning onto a somewhat suburban backroad. Revved out second, hit third and imidiay started to hit the brakes as I was going way too fast for what was probably a 35 zone. Boom, unmarked cop coming the other way. He flips around, and pulls...
Nope. Do you think they are going to let the stupid consumer be responsible for emptying a oil container every 5,000 miles that is connected to the PCV and emissions system? It would cause more problems than it prevents. A better argument is that these motors are fine with burning a bit of...
