Re: '95 Civic DX - EJ2 Heavy Mileage Drop: 36-38 Is Now 18

The inside of the engine is a very light gold, no sludge. The dark oil is from blowing so much fuel... got it dirty fast this last time, I'm going to change it early.

This car has run 0w-30 to...

Re: '95 Civic DX - EJ2 Heavy Mileage Drop: 36-38 Is Now 18

Alright the second tank numbers are in... 332.9 miles. While that is close to 27mpg, the Honda should be able to do better than that.

I really had to baby the car to get those miles... short...

Re: D15B7 engine clicking

Yeah, agreed with Honda4speed... sounds like a valve issue. The rocker arm assembly
and most valve trains have the the tendency to make the click noise. Some amount of
noise is normal at cold...

Re: Thermostat question

You should check out my thread on poor gas mileage, just in case... In my case it ended up being the ECM
that was bad, in addition to some tune up parts it needed along the way.

Re: R134A conversion drier compatability

Got it. Good information to have. Mine doesn't have an alternate table because it's the factory manual for my specific year ('95).

I'm jealous of the A/C performance in the Del Sol though, in a...

Re: 92 vx/y8 swap -- Can't find coolant leak on firewall side of engine

Apology accepted. Just because the change was done by the dealer doesn't always mean
you can accept that and just move on. It's smart to double check because even the
dealership makes mistakes.

Re: 96 civic D16Y7 blowing white smoke after tune up. Is it a HG?

Return on first tank (cannot verify total amount left in tank before refueling this round)

Re: R134A conversion drier compatability

You have a Del Sol... which means you have like 1/3'rd of the air inside your cabin than my car does, so I'm not surprised it is more than adequate for you.

He doesn't need to confuse anyone. I gave him the exact part number... walk in and order two of them, four if you like. It's at the bottom of the parts explosion diagram if you missed it.

It is a major concern... you should NEVER have a negative caster number... EVER.

Re: 96 civic D16Y7 blowing white smoke after tune up. Is it a HG?

If you found oil in your coolant, it is almost certainly a head gasket failure, sorry to break that news.
But I'd do as racerx510 suggests, beg, steal, or borrow a cylinder compression gauge.

Re: D16y8 gas leak from fuel rail. Need fuel rail assembly info.

Also, use the proper torque for crushing the washers or they will leak.
