ok dudes, here goes... i noticed my car cranking kinda funny a couple weeks back... didnt think much of it... then it started having a flashing cel while idling... had a cyl 3 misfire... so i swapped out the spark plugs, and they were looking worn out... no big deal, swap in a new set of iridium ngk's... the the code came back, cel flashing once again... checked the wires, cap rotor... nothing... did a compression test... and was as follows;
#1-175
#2-175
#3-135
#4-170...
so it would seem i have either burned valves, or worn piston rings... the car has 170,00 miles, i have replaced the valve guides, head gasket, valves, springs, retainers, cams (oem).... rather than rebuild, im going to go with either a b20 or another b18... i dont want to bo vtec with this car, its my daily, winter/family car... what would you guys go with????
other mods include type-r lsd trans, type r suspension, energy suspension bushings, type r rear sway bar, strut tower braces, and lower tie bars... and a bunch of other shit i did to it before the wife, kids, and all my time was taken away...i am on a budget now... that sucks, but what can i do?????? thanks for the info guys... the car still pulls decent right now... i lik the way she drives now, just need the oil consumption and the misfire to go away...
