I think that it was Mr.Lee grimes who said that if you let off the gas, then get back on the gas, and it smokes that the oil "leak" is in the head/valvetrain?
Today I coasted down a hill in 5th gear & when I went to accelerate to go back up, I saw probably the biggest billow of smoke I have ever seen leave the back of my rex...it was actually quite funny beacuse now I know where the problem is. I have a spare block that I'm probably going to have a rebuild done on it.... One question though (possibly george), a friend of mine (well more of an aquaintenence) has a D16Y8 (out of a new-ish civic Ex 98 body style), and he is trying to sell me his block & head with 80,ooo miles on it, the main bearing on the block is shot, so AFAIK it's as good as junk, but the head is in good condition, and it has the SOHC VTEC. I have a spare D16 block, so I was considering gatting the block punched out, and re-honed, getting the brank balanced, and cleaning up that head, to have a fresh motor in my rex. Anyways how much for the block & Head? (keeping in mind that his wife wants it out of his garage ASAP) -M _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
