i have a d16y8 and im cranking it over with a 17mm wrench on the crank pulley bolt, and i can hear a psssst leaking out.

my comp says 180 180 180 150 so how do i fix this?

evolutionm

do a leak down test to diag. where the leak is coming form

Figure out where the pssssst is coming from. You can spray soapy water around the head gasket area the exhaust area and the intake area and see where the bubbles are coming from

damn, I wish I got those results, I was at 150 150 145 150... sucks to be me! at least they're consistent!

thebleek

so what does this leak mean? cracked head? warped head? unclean mating sufaces? leaky intake manifold?

and how do i make soapy water? like what consistancy? can i use windex or some **** ?

total dumb question, but needed to be asked

jimmy o.

you need to do a wet and dry compression test do a dry on the cylinder in question them do a wet test by adding a small amount of oil to the cylinder if the comp is up signifigantly them bottom end if no signifigant change then its a head/valve issue

thebleek

i did that already with the old head i had on there. i had to wipe out the oil in the cylinders when i did that.

so its def a head/valve issue

SlipGear

Do a leak down test, If its coming from the intake valve you will hear air escaping from the t/b, if its the exhaust valve you will hear it coming out of the exhaust(dunno about full exhaust), and if its rings you can pop your dip stick out and listen.

can i spray soapy water all over and not have to worry about it messing any thing up?

When in doubt of anything internal, take it to someone that knows what they are doing

thebleek

you consider a head internal?

im sure most problems can be diagnosed without a professional lol

Spray Nine is wonderful stuff if you want to check something for leaks.

if ti is a valve problem no amount of soapy water or other chemical is going to show bubbles. the only way to do it is pressurizes the cylinder in questions with it at tdc of its compression stroke and listen for air escaping from the exhaust or through the tb ( tb means intake valve problem exhaust means exhaust valve problem)

blkegcoupe

if you can hear it escaping then most likely a bent vavle but try pouring a tiny bit of oil down the cylinder with bad comp and see if it goes back up

I consider anything that can be covered in oil under use as internal
