Andrew

P.S. Fluchuating Idle after warm up, drops to a point where it sounds like its gonna stall but then pumps back up....any solution?

 

do a compression test, then report back

Holy hell.

 

Sounds like you blew a ring land, Do a compression check. Your getting excessive crankcase pressures.

 

sounds like ringlands, compression check time

 

Oh God, blow by out the valve cover, must be broken ringlands!

Blow-by out the valve cover breather on a boosted Honda is NORMAL. If it's excessive, it could mean broken ringlands, but some blow-by under boost is normal. Especially on a built motor that has looser piston to cylinder wall clearance.

very true. built hondas will produce more blowby, especially boost built ones. The bug question is, how much boost were you running for how long on the stock pcv system

10psi+ for any more than a few months could mean serious issues.

 

was running 8 psi for 5 days, head was resurfaced and head gasket changed....
Will do compression test soon and will reply back thanks for the input guys

 

Well said ryan and turbo, everyone always seems to jump to the ringland conclusion.

 

..sounds like its time for a fresh rebuild. maybe

I should have the results by tommarow sometimes....COMPRESSION TEST is scaring the ***** outta my sack

 

compression test will usually tell you next to nothing. i compression tested 180+ psi on all four cyls with no more than a 10 psi difference on my B16 with toasted ringlands. leakdown is the only way. good luck.

don't **** a brick if you are lower than 180 across the board though.....my boosted b16 does 160 across the board and is consistent.......i wouldn't be too worried if you are a bit lower than that....

thats compression tho, all that matter with ringlands is leakdown

if the ringlands are cracked it will still make good compression (as brett pointed out)

his b16 made 180 across the board with 3 cracked ringlands

 

Compression test yet to be done....IDle problem was the TPS seemed to go bad...will change and update soon...thank again
