That's exactly what I did, and two weeks ago it was 170 across, and two weeks later -120, and one cylinder 150. Would it be because of not motor oil used to do a wet compression test?

Civic with a poor man's ITR swap. Has not been driven much because my ECU got wet and i lead to a bunch of problems.

Oil used Smart Omega Balance

huh? have you done port and polishing with the bag of sand into the intake pipe prior to checking compression?

do people do that? i donno.

WTF? Why? Dude it cost's like $4 for a quart of oil.

redm3turbo

yea...not for nothing, but olive oil is as expensive as motor oil....maybe more so...

what were you thinking?

hannslebo

WoW! Never heard of this...I would never put any oil in my engine except MOTOR OIL.

I think I have now heard everything. I cannot belive someone thought you could do this.


You dug your own grave by not being smart. Rebuild the engine.

You probably sautéed your rings for too long. Next time, stop after you've lightly browned them. For best results, add freshly chopped parsley.

Red_Army

serious?

do you cook eggs with extra virgin 5w30? hope not.
probably shouldn't use COOKING oil in a motor.
hence why there is motor oil and cooking oil.
oil is not oil.

**** guys, the ABC is closed, guess we can't get any alcohol.

No wait, someone drive to CVS and pick up some rubbing alcohol, that'll get us trashed!

CoolFoolIT

As for why it happened: It was in the moment!!! I had to run to work and did not have any 5w30 around so I Improvised in my impatience to find out whats up with my motor!

What are the ingredients that would eat away the rings, and the gasket.
When i start the car now I can still smell the burned oil and I get some milky white stuff under the oil cap.




This ^ was the funniest reply, but i was looking for something that would explain why it happen...

You answered your own question in the very first post.

98civdx

Milky white stuff is normally a blown HG. But with what you poured into, who the hell knows whats going on in there.


Why it happened? Engines like motor oil, not cooking oil. They are 2 completly totaly diferent things.

IMO you fried that motor. How low was the oil? Was it worth it?

Former User

The head gasket is blown. I think the use of a little cooking oil in the compression test is completely unrelated.

Start by draining and replacing the engine oil to see whether the white stuff goes away.

DirtyDA9

If you were in a hurry about to leave for work, why not just wait till after work and pick up some oil on your way home? Some people amaze me lol.

"now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block to replace the piston rings you sauteed"

D16SiHatch

thoroughly enjoyed this, probably more so because I'm also a cook as my current profession lol

I think so too, but it's much more entertaining to give him a hard time about it.

Now if he used a lot of oil, that would be a different story - regardless of the type of oil used.

Should have listed the milky white stuff in the first post. It would have helped us connect the now lower compression to the real issue. Oil change and cross your fingers but with the new lower numbers it doesn't look good.

Former User

I think the OP's real intent for making this thread was to get some attention.

Ron, I think you're absolutely right.

ddd4114

Yup, again, I think so too. It's still entertaining though.

Simplypinoy

Just like the guy with the bleach? or trying to be like him.

CoolFoolIT

Everybody is trying to be a smart *** about it, BUT why don't YOU wait till you have more time and then try to make it to that appointment, instead of gunning it and getting some "Christmas lights" on your tale?!!! I know you've been to that situation, and this is not any different from that: "Maybe it will work" kind of moment...

Getting ready to do a leak down test and if it will blow air out of my dipstick cavity, it is my rings then.

For future reference: To get it ready for a turbo, what is the recommended head gasket and head bolts to use for up to 300hp application. Looking for some experience here, who had luck with what.
