Before I approach my best friend, and tell him I think his son hurt my car, I wanted to make sure, he was the culprit. Long story short, he logged 200 miles on it for “prom”, which kind of pissed me off, but I didn’t say anything, but when my girlfriend dropped me off, I fired it up, and it sounded like a horrible exhaust leak under hood, and it was REAL gassy. I babied it home, popped the hood, and could tell it was coming from the valve covers. The next morning, I had a buddy stop by, I started it up so he could hear it, and no noise, just gassy. We pulled the valve covers to discover a bent pushrod and a broken rocker arm.
It is my opinion, this could’ve only happened one way. The kid tried to hot dog it, missed a gear, and over revved it. I want to be sure. Thanks guys.
