killed the motor. Timing chain tensioner or timing chain went. It's being towed to Adam's Automotive. I'm awaiting the diagnosis. I don't feel like paying for swapping tensioner and chain and sure as hell don't want the measily k20a3 back if there are bent valves. Unfortunately I do not have the tools and time to swap it myself. Hope Johhny goes easy on me for labor on a motor swap.

Thanks for all the tips. I'll mess with it tomorrow before work and see if I can get the easy-out bit out of it. Then maybe hammer a larger size torx bit into it like suggested above.

okay, I can update what I really did to my ride today...

For sure bent 3 intake valves, maybe 4
Failed timing chain tensioner
Messed timing chain
Possibly wrecked cam gears

Motor swap to come soon

Damn man sucks to hear...

Wait the Exedy clutch clip...it's that a common problem? I've heard that happen before on Evo-M i think?

strip it down more, pull the engine harness apart some to get ready for routing on GTE motor, test fitted new FMIC kit that came in today, clean some of the engine bay also.

Pulling seats out, and cleaning the hell out of the interior. Then will probably wash, polish, and wax it.

If it doesn't run, it'll be clean, damn it.
