D16Z6 oil issues
Hey guys,
i havent Found a thread like that, i Hope you can help me.
Me and my best friend, we swapped a D16Z6 out of a Del Sol into his Civic ED6. We renewed all Gaskets, we made a compression Test (which was good) and we cleaned the PCV. Our problem is, in 30 Minutes we burn like 0.5 liters of oil...
... except the burning oil the engine runs Perfect btw ...
There is no crack in the Head or Block, we do have good compression. We havent got any clue what the issue could be..
Would Be great if someone could help us

Re: D16Z6 oil issues
you can have good compression and still have crap oil control ring(s). I've seen reasonably low-mileage (less than 150k) D-series engines with oil rings packed full of carbon/deposits. I've personally put two back together after cleaning and had zero oil consumption for the first 50k miles.
re-ringing is a bit extreme as a first step. try high-detergent or high-mileage oil. try something like sea-foam oil treatment. if you want to get real experimental (at your own risk) theoretically a quart of ATF in the crank case could break up deposits. don't run high-weight oil (higher than recommended 5W-30 like 10W-30 or 10W-40) even try 5W-20.
if any of that helps a little but you still want less consumption, consider then doing a re-ring on the engine.
