So the car WAS running fine after about a week of trying to establish a base tune. I took her out to goto the local car "hang out". Figured it was safe to start seeing a little boost, the most I've seen @ this point was about 2 pounds, well i saw 7... then the issue started. Misfires. I thought no big deal, the plugs are prob. fouled a bit from running rich (injectors went from 36# to 65#)I turned around and headed home to start trouble shooting. Plugs, nope still misfiring, wires, same, new coil pack on the prblem cyl- ummm no dice...WTF.This is about where I started to worry a bit....

I pulled the frontvalve cover (cyl 1&2 plugs were rich, 1 being the worst - front bank). Well once the valve cover was removed, I found my rockers sitting about 30* to the right.. not a good sign.

The rocker bolt in the middle is for comparison only to show how bent the one on the right is.

Next up: bent pushrod - sorry no pic yet :P but its toast I'd say about 50% worse than the rocker bolt above- This is where is decided to !@#$ myself.

Ok, bent pushrod, time to take the LIM off :(

Heres what i found

the "cap" was flush, and couldnt be removed at first, the retaining ring was just chillin there...

Im not a lifter expert, but I'm pretty sure this inst supposed to be on an angle :P

Head comes off tomorrow and goes into the shop to get check out, pretty sure i can get the remaining rocker bolt out.. They're not stock heads, so I REALLY dont want to give up on them unless they're FUBAR
