Burning oil still after rebuild...


It does seem to me that for some reason the B18C does tend to burn quite a bit of oil compared to the b16b:nono:

My old dc2 had a full service history and did not have that hard a life being owned by 2 older guys before me and it used a fair bit of oil on track about 1 liter after 30-35 laps and on the road I would have topped her up with about 200ml every week or so. The car never smoked when I owned it but I was told that when on the power you could smell oil behind the car

On the other hand since buying my ek9, it doesnt seem to use a drop of oil on the road and used a tiny bit on track after the oil started to break down a bit. IIRC neiller on the site also sold a dc2 that was using alot of oil and since buying his b16b ek9 it doesn't use oil:nice:
 
if your car is burning oil will this show up in an emissions test for an nct/mot. surely extra smoke will make the reading higher resulting in a fail.
 
Well...that took a while to read front to back.

ijwhiteman, I am running a JDM b18c-r w/decat directed by S300, using Mobil-1 syn 5-30 does not show smoke out the tail pipe, but it does use oil when being driven hard, 1lt per 300 miles. I find this to be acceptable given the high rev range and how it pulls! OMG it pulls hard in vtec--omfg.

Please let us all know what the issue was after the rebuild. I hope you get to a happy place with your engine soon.

:nice:
