EM1 Honda Civic PICS INSIDE
Hey guys I have a problem with my Civic it seems to have a major oil leak by the headgasket and when I accelerate at high RPM's it blows grey smoke out the exhaust. Some people tell me it could be due to the valve seals, other tell me worn piston rings, but im hoping it's just a blown head gasket here are the pics. Tell me what you guys think.

Re: EM1 Honda Civic PICS INSIDE
Thank you..I repleaced Valve cover gasket, cam seals, water pump, timing belt, V Tec solenoid gasket. AT first I thought it was the cam seals but the problem still persist.
The car hesitates when I turn it on I have to crank it two times before It could finally turn on. After that the car runs fine but It's not running like it suppose to I notice a lack of power in lower rpms. Car does not heat up or anything like that. Should I just buy a head gasket from Honda? what you guys think come on I know theres gotta be someone out there at one point that had this problem. I know B-series motors are know to burn oil but this is leaking and burning it at the same time lol.

Im putting my money on headgasket and coolant.
Have you checked your coolant reservoir ? have you had to add coolant or oil ? .
to replace headgasket go buy one from honda, then take the head off , check it to see its still true. If its all good reinstall head with new head studs.
I would do this sooner than later, Incase you overheat and warp the head.

Re: EM1 Honda Civic PICS INSIDE
Im sorry its more like white smoke coming out the exhaust...I'm going to make a compression check to see what numbers I get..Yes I have to add oil two quarts every 85-100 miles I drive and I also notice the coolant runs a bit low everytime I have to add oil. I drive no more than 55-60 mph I dont push it hard. So does that sound like a head gasket to you guys? I appriciate all the help you guys have giving me.
