The car is burning like 1L of oil every 500-600 km. The question is Rebuild or Not Rebuild?

 

LOL same problem I have. Worse though. Good luck.

 

I installed a catch can and see if this will help.

what is your compression test number?

 

Look at my thread below on the Total Seal rings, I have 240 across except for cylinder 3 which is 220. Just built my motor too , do you happen to smell any while you frive?

 

compression #'s are rather close to each other, but you might try a different oil first.

I am using Motul 8100 5w40 now, what other oil would you suggest?

I am running a test pipe, so I can definitely smell it.

 

Are situations are soooo much alike.

 

Have you tired the recommend 5-30? If so what was the results?

 

i have tried 20w50 to 15w50 to 10w30 to 5w30, different brands, Pennzoil, Mobil1, Amsoil, Royal Purple, Lucas oil additives you name it i've tried it.

I tried 10W40 300V and it still the same. May be I should try different brand or something cheaper.

 

Let me know if it helps your situation at all by changing.

 

Look slike your burning regardless of brand or weight, You might want to try a leak down test before taking it apart.

 

i would suggest a leakdown like bbasso said because the compression seems fine and it also seems like you've experimented with other oils.

 

WHERE ELSE COULD THE OIL BE BURNING AT IF WE BOTH SMELL IT!!!!! Sorry, this is so frustrating.

 

I did a leakdown last month already and it was like 5-7% in 3 cylinders and one cylinder was 20%. And I think that the same cylinder that has 215 compression.

The air is coming from the oil cap on the 20% one, and I can't hear any air leaking for the other 3 cylinders.

 

i have a brand new from acura r motor and it has 500 miles on it my compression is 210 in all four i use mobil 1 5-30, is that low or ok guys.

 

Maybe... taking a shot here...

Valve seals could be bad.

 

the head is brand new and built with honda seals, s2 springs n retainers, ferrea flatop valves, bronze valve guides,ctr cams so it really beats the shitoutta me why the compression is low?

 

I see that there are three people here asking questions on One persons post, not that I have a hard time reading but maybe it would be beneficial to make your own threads?

Evereyone has slightly different setups and not one answer is for all.

I thought it is the piston ring if the air is coming out of the oil cap?

The raw number can vary a lot. What you're looking for in a compression test is a variance between the cylinders. Since you're solid across the board, you should be fine.

I agree....but what the hell made you wanna check your compression in the first place? Is it running shitty or just using some oil?

 

thanx splat, i just wanted to check on it i was bored today, nah its not burning oild or any thing, thanx guys

 

What brand tester was used? I noticed a signifcant difference when using an Autozone tester and a Snap-On.

Nice Avitar 99 TYPE R.

Not trying to hijack anyones thread its just that I have the same exact problem with my motor as well. Wanted to see what he's doing about it.
