More help needed for a B18B1
Last week I started noticing a substantial loss of horse power. I'm also losing oil, i'd say about a quart a week or so. It's not dripping, I don't have any puddles, I don't have the aurora borealis coming out of my tail pipe either. Could these problems be connected. Does any one know what would be going on with my baby?

Get a compression test. How many miles do you drive in a week? If less than 1,000 you probably are in bad need of new rings. Welcome to my world!!! You can get a JDM B18B1 for about $800-$1,000 or pay more than that for a rebuild.

I did a compression test, it's perfect. Thats why I'm so confused about it. The car has 160,000 miles on it. I drive it about 800 miles a week i guess. New rings is probably what i'm gonna need to do. No doubt the whole motor should be rebuilt. Little by little it'll happen... Sucks when you have a small budget for these things.

Re: (jasonw)
what about your leakdown test results???
doing 800 miles a week is no fucken joke...what rpms do you normally drive in??
how is your head gasket? no oil in the antifreeze?
How about valve adjustment??

Re: (PLAGUED_DB7)
valve guides gone bad maybe? Wouldnt affect compression, but would leak oil...
Did you compare spark plugs, id bet that one will be all black, dirty, smudgey...I predict cyl #3
EDIT: If checked you compression 3 weeks ago, but you noticed loss of power only a week ago...wouldnt you want to do ANOTHER compression test?
