Insane Oil Consumption


Leak and Compression were OK... will update as we progress :)
 
I spoke to Tim the other day and he said it was the rings. So rebuild is on the cards. I will let Tim elaborate more on it.
 
wondered if you could help mate.
i'm getting the same sort of thing but my oil is going down like a litre in 600 miles.
i need to get the tests done like leak down and comporession and so on but for time being its not being driven....

did you get smoke when Vtec crossed over or from vtec to the redline???
i am only getting smoke when i get to 8000rpm upwards but it is burning alot of oil.

thought i'd ask you instead of starting a replica forum lol.
 
Yep the rings are definitely gone, she is booked in with DNR for a rebuild and some performance work if my budget can cover it.

Will update once I know more.

Your oil consumption isn't any where near as high as mine is, still probably worth doing the tests though if your worried.

Smoking is occurring right through the VTEC on mine...
 
Glad you got to the bottom of it, them DNR boys look good first i've heard of them. Liking the Tshirts too tim!
 
Not good news but at least it will be running very well when its all rebuilt!

Any ideas what happend to the rings for them to fail so badly? Do you know if they were genuine Honda rings or anything, alot of engine builders only recommend Honda or 2nd choice wiesco pistons for them to gaurantee their work
