Compression ratio
im not new to honda-tech or hondas in general but im new to this recently built my first engine from the ground up but i am running into a problem where im losing anti freeze so im obviously thinking head gasket so i checked out the normal plugs oil under the valve cover no sludge i got 180 185 180 180 across the board
is this normal??? i expected it to be a little higher than that considering the engines only got 4000 miles on it
engine spec's
b18c
golden eagle sleeves bored 84.5mm
cp pistons 8.5.1
eage h beams
fully balanced
gsr head
full port and polish
3angle valve job
skunk 2 titaniaum retainers and valve springs

Re: Compression ratio (crxsir23)
i see a little white puff here and there that dosent dissipate im in ct so really cold here hard to tell i go through like a gallon every week week and a half so its a considerable amount for an unseen leak my main ??? is about the compression per cylinder it is a low compression engine but 180 per cylinder seems low to me

Re: Compression ratio (hybridmath)
If you want to rule out a headgasket leak, put a leak down tester on it, and pull the radiator cap off, and see if any air bubbles appear in the radiator, this will tell you if you have a leak
