hey guys i just put a motor in my integra and it is not holding oil, i replaced the rear main, so i dont think it is leakin there. it isnt noticable any were, were do you guys think its goin? thanks

 

o yeah just did my compression they were all 190-200, i think headgasket is out of the question

 

past your rings

 

check your rings

 

How many miles are on it. I've noticed that after Honda engine get around 50k-60k they seem to drink alot of oil. Make sure to check it around 2000-2500 miles after an oil change, it usually needs a quart.

 

around 100k

 

Typical, nothing you can really do about it except replace the rings.

 

if it were my rings wouldnt i have lower compression

 

If you rings where totally shot you shold have lower #'s.

How much oil are you using?

 

i filled with 4 quarts checked my dip it was perfect, ran the car then noticed quiete a bit was gone when i checked it again, drained all of the oil and did the same thing again same result i dont think it would burn that much oilthat fast, im gonna try to run it longer though

 

replace your pcv valve, i had the same pro, replaced and was fixed, also am using mobil1 oil now the gsr has 88k

 

quite a bit is not the answer i was looking for. More like" I filled it up it was good, 2 weeks later i had to add XXXX to bring the level back to where is was before"

 

i filled it up ran it for about 5 minutes and noticed about half to a quart was gone, maybe more, were is the pcv valve located?

 

clean integra so your engine was not hollding oil and it was leaking on the ground or anything, it wasnt noticable?

is the pcv valve on the intake manifold?

And there is no smoke?? no leaks??

 

I have the same problem. My oil just magically disappears. There is no oil stain nor do I see smoke coming from my exhaust.

 

I doubt running 5 minutes losing 1/2 quart is due to leaking from seals, they don't leak that fast, plus when you are driving the engine is in vacuum, so air should go inward instead of outward.

Either ring, oil passage (filter?), or head gasket.

Did you get more coolant than you started with? minor oil burning doesn't give noticable smoke. But 1/2 quart in 5 mins is alot.

 

i think i figured it out thanks guys

 

my bad didnt get back to you sooner, but pcv valve is under the intake manifold, looks like a beige color on the gsr- wouldnt know on your model
it wasnt leaking anywhere, what happens is when the valve is not working it just lets oil through and the engine begins to burn it. the way i noticed was by checking the dipstick

 

If you figured it out plaes post what is was, and what you did to fix it. This will help for other in the future.
And i really want to know what was going on
