Pulling this neo motor apart for someone atm and its got bent valves on cyln 3, the valve guides have snapped and ones missing all together, I have a feeling it broke up and went through the valve and into the chamber because theres damage on the head and piston.

see pics.. is it fixable?

also for lolz.. see the dodgy repair somone has done to the CAS bracket... wtf

lol CAS bracket repairs like that are more common than you think, I've seen and heard of plenty going around. So dodge lol.

As far as the head goes it's repairable. I don't think the seat will be overly damaged, if at all. New guides, new valves, rock and roll.

The chamber is fine.

Mine had more det damage than that on the quench pads. I skimmed the head till it hit the pads to make up for it.


Just blend the pads so they don't have any hard edges.

yeah its a DET head, DE is different.

as for what happened.. im pretty sure the broken cas bracket and subsequent dodgy repairs lead to valves being bent and snapping the valve guides. not sure how it only bent intake valves on one cyln tho

Wasn't the belt coming loose or something?

Although when that happens, usually related to a tensioner wasn't replaced properly/at all, it'll take a few more valves with it or even snap them completely. Certainly got away with it pretty well

how are the det heads and de heads different?

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
