my buddy called me to pick him up the other day he said he "blew the motor" in his car...
it's a 93 del sol with a d16z6, we started to tear into it yesterday mornin and first thing i found his stock exhaust mani was cracked clean open...
he drains the oil no anti freeze in it but the car puffed white smoke...?
i thought maybe he cracked the head...
another weird thing its a d16z6 non vtec i thought they were all vtec?
So if its a cracked head we're gonna slap a d16y8 head on it junkyard turbo and cam it... so whats what...?:confused::confused:
 
Not all of the single-cam VTEC heads have the "VTEC" emblem on them. Look for the solenoid to be sure. Also, it's possible that someone swapped the head out for a non-VTEC one...

Word. A few years ago my friend thought his head got swapped out before he bought it and was pissed. I pointed to the solenoid and told him to calm down.

My Z6 head and my GFs both dont have the VTEC emblem, but my friends EX has it.
 
we just pulled the car back out it has just sat there since my last post... he moved off to a diff. school and left his car, he's back now and we just started again... btw the reason for no vtec was a burnt up vtec solenoid... and what happened to the car was the timing tensioner broke and threw the head to shit but he just sent it off to have a rebuild on it...:cool:
 
the white smoke was probably because there was no antifreeze..
my radiator had a crack in it a while back, thus having little or no coolant, and it overheated and puffed white smoke.
 
well he just had bad rings... and now that i think about it it was a kinda blueish smoke..:ph34r:
