Thread: How to stuff up your 230+ whp VE, by DrG

What do you mean what screws? How many screws are on the TB and how many screws around the TB can get into the engine.

Lets take a look at a TB

i dont know why this thread is so confusing for so many people lol

I tried to take my screws out a long time ago to loctite them and they wouldn't wanna come out. They just felt like they were going to strip, so I left them alone. I hope this never happens to me... or maybe it hassss? lol. It did look like some serious debris went into the exhaust wheel a while back... I'm gonna have to check it out

That's what I thought too. Sucks doing all this work for no benefit.

But like what?

I was thinking 1mm oversize valves, but it doens't look like the sr16ve pistons will accept bigger valves without going to the engineering shop, and i don't wanna pull the block apart.

Don't worry your not the only who went through that problem

I guess I was confused by the "on" the TB. I was thinking of those four that hold the TB on, not the ones on the valve. TY for clarifying.

Red is the stronger of the two. That stuff still has me nervous though.

Doctor G I say you got kind one lucky on this one, there could have been more damage like I have seen inside of a engine when a valve snaps and gets compressed its not pritty.

i just locktite mines today...those dang screws are hard to get off,had to use a small vise grip,stripped the crap out of them...
