i remove my oil cap and saw this mily brown thing build up.

by the way its in a turbo b16a that not running right now? could it be piston rings or head gasket?

HXMan

Could be oil mixing with coolant...means blown headgasket.

Quik Chris

Yeah headgasket for sure. Now look in your radiator or drain it and see if there's oil in there.

Unless you over-filled the oil during the last oil change

stockegsix

could "blow by" be causing this too.

which head gasket to use, should i go oem or after market ones. this is a bone stock b16a @7 psi of boost

If its turbo more than likley its a cracked sleeve... too much boost on stock block....

moondoggy

could be water?

riiiight because its turbo, the first thing to break are the sleeves.


pull the oilpan
drain the coolant

look for anaomilies. if the HG is gone you will find "peanut butter" substance of oil mixing with coolant.

yeah its kinda like a "peanut butter" substance, so its the headgasket. now how hard is it to change one.

Kamin

it can be done in a few hours if you know how to do it, if you dont, give yourself a weekend and make SURE to use a helms, step by step.

a shop will charge 400-600+ for a HG replacment.

True, but most people that are running a stock block would probably rather blow a headgasket then blow a ringland or sleeve.

i hope its only a head gasket, im gonna try to change it myself. ive only been boosting not even for a week and boosted no more than 15 times, im really upset right now and just wanna get this stupid thing over with, it sucks not having a car

Quik Chris

Wanna be turbo goons running a copper headgasket? What?

I can see the sleeve cracking on a B20, but not on any other motor.

&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; B18c1 stock block + 17 lbs of boost = cracked sleeve

AzntaggeR

doode that's not good at all...i think it could be water. maybe a bad gasket.

Ivan

yup I agree with everyone else. It sounds like a headgasket.

stockegsix

thanks for all the replies. but anyways me and a friend will be installing a newer b16a block in my car.

boostedcivicsir

if it is under the cap it could be simple as just plain old moisture.

hndarcrb18c1

Why a newer block???
