Sounds like you had a junk motor, or there is some other problem you're not aware of. Do you have any EGT or AFR readings? At 15 psi you should be able to get lots of mileage out of a 13B.....

I have seen 2 N/A motors detonate from being overheated. Too much heat can cause preignition. Its weird opening one of those up.

Mine only had 27k when it went. Thats what happens when you buy a used car as you never know how it was treated, or how well it was put together. **** happens, I'm not upset about it.
BUT, it will have a new motor soon, and it will be treated properly, and it will last longer than 27k miles. ****** better
Everyday that you own an FD, drop 20-30 bucks in the glove box....maybe you will get lucky and always have enough to pay for broken ****

Just put it in the bank.
You know, I'm a true believer of keeping spare funds availble for these cars for the obvious reasons. Sorry to hear. Unfortunately it's such a common thing I sometimes wonder why I even bother with it you know? Good luck with it!though!
