    Comp 918 spring broke

    A couple of weeks ago i was pulling out the street and i hear a loud tapping sound that lasted about 15- 20 seconds then went away. Then as soon as it quit the truck started running real rough. Truck sounded like it had some bad azz cam. I did a compression check and when i got to the #6 cylinder Zero. btw the truck had just turned over 113,000 miles. Thats about how my luck goes lol. Well I spent My saturday pulling the engine out of my truck. This is what happen when one of my Comp 918 springs broke on the #6 cylinder,:bang: Anybody else have this problem?


    My new engine come in tomorrow and i'll drop it in Tuesday.

    How old are your springs? I read somewhere they had a bad batch of springs. Get a hold of comp cams, they may help u out on the re-build.

    if you're springs have a blue stripe, they have been recalled. i just got my new set in the mail for free, all i have to do is mail them my old ones back.

    it sounds like your new springs won't be free though. that sucks

    That's what i thought too. i just told them mine had a blue stripe and was bought last year. in a week, i had a new set sitting on my door step.


    i have yet to hear about a new set breaking yet, but that's not to say they haven't. i'm going to take my chances and run the new set.

    Call Comp, talk calmly, ask what they're going to do to make things right. have your receipt in hand from when you bought the springs and if you have the original box they came in, have it handy since it's probably got the batch information on it.
