Bee brought us his RSX in hopes of getting the car back running. Once we started digging into it, we immediately figured out what his problem was. A dropped valve was the cause off his disaster and with that the devastation of these spark plugs.

Heath's motor took more of a beaten then we had all assumed in the beginning. After the head came off the rings were all cracked from the nitrous which ruined the pistons. Heath decided to upgrade rather then just fix his car. His new setup up with consist of CP pistons, Eagle rods, ACL bearings, Flash-Pro, and a few other mods to complete his setup. Heath will also be boosting the car down the road and feels it is the best time to prepare for that.
