SR20 broken rocker = more problems

Having an interesting issue with my SR, its a s13 redtop. A couple of nights ago I managed to shatter the exhaust rocker arm on cylinder 4. I replaced the rocker arm with a new one and reassembled everything. When I started it back up, it ran like shit and after unplugging coil packs I found that it was only running on cylinders 2 and 4 (the one with the rocker I replaced). Cylinders 1 and 3 when unplugged did not affect the motors running.

I checked compression and I had 155 psi on cylinders 2 and 4, but literally 0 psi on cylinders 1 and 3.

When I crank the engine by hand, there’s no noise or resistance of a piston contacting a valve, however the starter has a hard time cranking the engine as it’s cranking noticeably slower and less smooth than before.

I’ve checked mechanical timing once, and I’m typing this as I’m doing it again to be sure, but I’m stumped and if there’s any input about this that’d be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hate to break it to you but sounds like the timing was off and bent some valves possibly.

Also the dead cylinders could have gotten bent valves when the rocker broke, not that you assembled anything wrong when you fixed the rocker.

SR20 broken rocker = more problems

So when the rocker breaks, can that somehow throw the timing off? I was under the assumption that on the cylinder the rocker breaks, the valves will immediately close. As for the other cylinders, I couldn’t think of a reason that one missing rocker would cause the timing to be thrown off enough to contact a valve.

The rocker shattered under hard driving/high rpms. Tapped the limiter once and it went. It’s an ignition cut at 7k, and I’ve never spent much time on the limiter, a tap or two at the most in second when I drive the car hard which isn’t often.

It really shouldn't have. Signs are leading to the mechanical timing being off when you initially cranked it after the repair. The starter has enough torque to bend the valves if they contact.

I just wanna say if you have rocker arm stoppers go ahead and remove them now. And look into doing dual rocker guides.

Never believed in rocker arm stoppers actually helping so I never installed them. I also plan on doing the dual guide conversion.

Did you over rev the engine? Like accidentally shift into 2nd instead of 4th on the freeway? Sounds to me like the engine spun too fast causing that rocker to break and make others valves kiss pistons?

Nope, literally turned out of my neighborhood and got on it in second from 25ish mph until redline. Kissed the limiter once and took a shit. Ran and idled funky and there was a super loud tick. Pulled the valve cover and the rocker was just sitting in two pieces.

Pour some acetone or similar and see if it leaks out. If it does, valves are bent. Unless bent significantly, the naked eye cannot tell if the valve is sealing or not.

I dropped the head off today at a machine shop to have it vacuum bench tested and waiting on the results.
Between the valves was just a bunch of flaking carbon and some spilt oil from when I turned the head over.

I’ll definitely lower the limit a few hundred revs. It’s an ignition cut which I believe was the main reason the rocker broke.

oh yeah. We see that all the time. Its rare to have a rocker failure at 7k on the fuel cut limiter, it would have surprised me.

What happens on the ignition cut is some fuel explodes in the exhaust system, which creates a high pressure between turbine and head, pops the exhaust valve open if a spring is weak enough.
The valve then being open when it isn't supposed to be is now 'in the way' when the cam comes around, rocker loses its 'grip' and cam cuts it in half more or less. might leave a huge gouge in the cam lobe too. It basically jams sideways in there till it fractures like a brittle chalk, often sending little shims and guides into the oil pan if ur lucky hah.
If not, you never find them ;D

Ignition cut is a no-no on stock valvetrain. I ran my old sr almost 8 years raping the stock 7,500rpm limiter and never popped a rocker lol.

The is more the constant laying on the limiter vs just touching it prior to switching gears.

Drift cars and the like is a perfect example. On all my SRs, reving to 7-7500 RPM track day cars (300-360+ WHP) and touching the limiter (and just so on most shifts unless short shifting) I have yet to break a rocker or spit out a shim. This is with Spark Cut limiter (hard cut) and progressively cuting each cylinder in 100 RPM increments until redline (so cylinder 1 cuts @ 7100, cyl 2 @ 7200, and so on). This is very similar to a stock SR ecu logic. Never an issue.

The only folks I really se spitting shims are ones which lay on the limiter.
