Default might have fried my rings.

Hello all, well about four months I got my car togather. Fully built b16a2 by earl with a drag kit. I was running the hack with my older setup, but now I wanted to get my car tunned with hondata. I made an appointment with my shop and they told me to get bigger injectors, therefore I got some RC750's and put them in. Before taking the car to the shop for tunning and instaling the hondata, I wanted to make sure there were no leaks and the car was running. So we started the car and let it worm up. After about about 5 mins we noticed alot of smoke out the exgust(Blue). So we shut the car down and pulled out the spark plugs, there was little bit of oil in all four. So I called Earl (really helpful) and asked him what could be worng. I tolt him I have put in 750's and dumped out as much fuel I could. He told me all the possibillties and I checked them all, He also told me that I might have wipped out the rings because of all the fuel I dumped in by using bigger injectors. Sorry for the long post, just wanted some feedback. Let me know if u need more info. thank you.

run a compression test and that will tell you if you fried your rings or not.

What is your static compression ratio?

Can you do a leak down test?

yes, try doing the leak down first. Maybe you should have installed the 750's and tuned immediately to get the correct a/f ratio. GL
