its better to put money in the engine, more fun and you dont run the risk of looking a tool ha

thats a bit extreme, the man needs rings and shells and tama suggests a k20? sorry but no disrespect, that seems over the top mate.

have decided i will take the engine out and strip it down, new type r high comp pistons, new rings, valve stem seals and all the gasket replaced. i noticed today that there is oil leaking from the corner of the head gasket. will send the head to be skimmed and if all this doesnt work a nice b18...

Well lads. have noticed that puff of blue smoke after hitting the vtec has got worse over the last while. looks like a feckin steam engine going down the road, anyway i drive a civic with a b16a2 engine and want someone to tell me what makes a smoky vtec and why if possible. i have heard...

out of where? from the diff where the drives go in? need more info

that sounds way to heavy a knock to be tappets so i assume that something is loose in the cam gear, i wouldnt be running that engine if it was mine, take that cam cover off and check if anything is loose

go in to a local auto factors and they will give you the right ones. cheaper then ordering ones from somewhere

some boots come cut like this and have glue supplied but i found them very annoying to use and never lasted. granted getting the drive off and on again is a 30-45 min job.

oh well its on its way already. will be a new filter going on it so im not worried about that. just thought it would be better then the half arsed intake that is on the car since i bought it.

the temp sensor is what i would be looking at if it runs grand cold then not when its warm. confusing all the same as it is usually the other way around. it is probably bumping too much petrol in when its warm and so struggles, clean the iacv too. that thing seems to screw with everything when...

20mm-1.5 thread i think. look up an oil filter sandwich for your engine on ebay. might be in the details. just as a reference

you mean craic. welcome to the forum. where you from?

i would bring it back as soon as possible, they owe you a properly built engine. surprised they let you have it with it burning oil

ah, i see. well that wouldnt bother me much. who built it?

that a bit ott in my opinion but you would want to be sure the bracket is steel. i wouldnt trust aluminium, it breaks easily and doesnt take stress like that well

clean the iacv and if that doesnt work turn the idle screw on the throttle body up. easy fixed

you sure its burning all that oil or is it leaking? the leak around the spark plug holes in the cam cover. i would be more worried about the black smoke. thats not good who ever built the engine has done a terrible job, bring it back and dont pay anymore to put it right

i would worry if it was that far over the mark. drain a little out. no point risking anything for the sack of 15 minutes of work to drain a bit out.

when you say you sealed the manifold do you mean around the iacv or the manifold at the block? how did you seal it? silicone? if so if you put too much sealant on the engine could have sucked a lump in and is blocking the air intake passage. but check the basics too. spark and fuel.
