That turned out to be a faulty o2 sensor.

lol.

O2 sensor isn't going to do this damage, it would just run a bit rich, and throw a cel.

You have not installed your timing belt/cam gears correctly and it has cost you your engine....

OEM cam gears and belt is hard enough for the average home mechanic, let alone adjustable cam gears!

It's a costly mistake, but hopefully one that you can build on. Now, do it once, do it right...

Did you miss a gear? a huge over-rev can cause belt skip.

Were you using OEM valve retainers & collets?

I just read the other post......

regarding EJ207 and Ej20K heads, i am using the correct headgasket as per the compression matrix floating around. I would like Dougs feedback.. i know they do this combo in the US.

I've heard the motor ping once and that was a on a very hot day, many months before.

Knock doesn't exceed 50, boost doesn't go pass 1.5 bar, mostly running 1.3~1.4.

i suspect the motor was leaning out, surely the o2 isnt to blame??
I assume you are running a power FC?

I just read your other thread again - You mentioned Surging at 2500 rpm - that's a sign of a dead Air flow meter.

no, I was cruising 2000~3000rpm, the surging is during this rev range also.

Jun Valve retainers and collets.
