I understand it will disable the DISA, but why would one want to do that? To overcome a faulty DISA, or something else? Just trying to figure out how that ties into my issue.

Again this is probably available info, but what is the goal of unplugging the DISA wire? Will that cause something to reset?

I wish I'd had time for a farewell, but this move has been much harder than we anticipated. Hardly got to say goodbye to anyone. But yeah, it is really beautiful here. My next door neighbor is ...
Thanks alot, but I just left the area today for my new home in Greenville SC.

I guess the follow-on question for me is, since the mechanic says he would charge me $175 for the reflash, would that money be better put toward a Shark reflash, or is it important to get the latest...
Some of you know that I killed my perfectly good 100k ZHP motor with a careless mistake. It was replaced with a 110k motor that had been compressiion tested and was in good condition (all fresh...
She is back from the dead! I am a few weeks late in posting this update, but the engine replacement was successful following a lead to a good ZHP mechanic right here in Manassas. Thanks to Sean (El...
Yes, I drove it nearly 200 miles before it found it's way into the combustion chamber.

Alright, Shawn. Since you said please. Surprised nobody guessed after my hints, but here ya go--read 'em and weep. I almost can't bear to look at them again yet. I feel like such an a-hole......
Thanks Socket. I don't mind admitting my mistakes, I just hate that I still make them, especially when they're this costly. This is one that I've joked about many times, but never really took...
Upon further investigation, I discovered that the ZHP oil pump spindle nut is also a different part number, but can be simulated on a non-ZHP motor by adding Loctite to the existing nut. Any other...
I had thought the only differences are the cams and the DME tuning. I'll have to do some more research.

Another hint: I had not yet changed the plugs--those holes were never opened.

I just found myself in the same boat today (although for a different engine failure). I'll be following to hear the consensus recommendation. I'm also considering a standard 330 engine and swapping...
Well, I'm struggling not to throw up after seeing what happened to my #6 cylinder. DISA was fine, completely intact and functioning normal. I bought a scope at Harbor Freight, on sale--great deal. ...
Been shopping at Harbor Freight a lot lately--I'll definitely check this out.
#6 ran perfectly smooth for the entire year that I owned it, until all hell broke loose and it ran for about 10 more seconds sounding like it was flying apart until I could pull over. That's when...
What little I could see through the plug hole looked like a dark, dirty mess. I couldn't make out any specific shrapnel, bit if it was a piece of plastic DISA valve then maybe all is not lost. I'm...
The bigger question at this point, regardless of what caused this mess, is whether the likely expense of removing and probably rebuilding the head, and maybe serious work to correct other damage...
$h1tballs. My indy said today it sounded like something he wasn't equipped to handle, so I went out there and opened it up. Valvetrain looked clean, and plugs 1-5 looked normal. But #6... !! ...
Wow, really? Is that common? I only disconnected the rear banjo fitting, so as not to disturb the line any more than necessary. Reconnected it and torqued to specs. Could something have gone...
First thing I looked for were obviously belts & pulleys. No problems there. No oil from the OFH (I replaced the gasket). No coolant from the new reservoir. New water pump sounded fine. All the...
No signs of impending failure. I was cruising smoothly and happily on Henderson Rd. at about 40 mph and I suddenly lost thrust. That's when I started hearing the cacophony under the hood, and saw...
Well, the car just suffered a hard breakdown on Henderson Rd. Sounds like something bad happened in the vicinity of the valvetrain. I didn't touch that last week, and all fluid levels were/are...
I replaced just the pulley on my mechanical tensioner, and reused the old cap. Saw no reason the replace the whole unit. Got the pulley from AutoZone (gasp!).
