Burning oil?
Alright fellas...
ive got a b16a2 that i had recently had dyno tuned at Church auto, made 165whp,
But anyways, on the dyno and the street, around 8k i shoot a good ammount of smoke out, Shawn does not beileve im burning oil because it should be doing it more than just 8k..
Though, every few days, my oil level is a little lower
suggestions?

Re: Burning oil? (athoughts)
I would like to know also, because I have a 1991 Civic with an OBD1 B16 in it and it seems to smoke some as well, but only at high rpm's, well into the Vtec power band... If any one knows or has any ideas I would like to know as well. Since I love tunning and working on my ride of course I think the worst... time for new bottom end!

Well, I found out today that my knock sensior was not working and the wire on my OEM oil pressure switch was not on... So i fixed those to things and seems to be ok right now, I wont have time to get on it (hi RPM's) till late tomorrow so we will see, I due notice the car idles smoother and pulls harder (for a 1.6)

Good to hear it was fixed
so it was just the OEM oil pressure switch and timing?

Explain to me how these motors smoke do to this " vtec kicking in and increased oil pressure" ?
