So I have a Crx Si, and it has a swapped SOHC ZC.

the guy who owned it before me was an idiot and couldn't drive im guessing, but i first thought that I had bad gaskets or my rings where going bad or already where bad. but anyways, I took it to Jiffy lube at my friends work, and we went underneath my car and saw that I had a bad bad oil leak, but it didn't drip just soaked everything under neith. The told me it could be a bad oil gasket and that i could just be burning oil threw my exausht, because when i hit like... 5grand or something blue smoke comes out. I checked my plugs and there is no oil at all in there.. and as far as burning oil threw my exausht, I thought it could just be my oil gasket, but im not sure if that would cause that much oil to be soaked down there


I have no clue what it could be because I've had all sorts of things told to me.


if somebody could help me out, That'd be awesome.

 

Here is a tip there, hero,

DONT REV HIGH AND HARD ITS NOT A RACE CAR!!

Most likely your rings are worn and or your valve stem seals as well.

"oil gasket"? what "oil gasket" are you talking about?

 

your burning oil, and leaking oil... take it to a mechanic if you dont know why its burning, or where its leaking. if you do know why and where, tell us so we can actually help

samething was happening in my sedan, valve seals fixed it right up.

 

it sound like the rings are gone. i hahve the same problem now. i say you should just go pick up a motor instead of rebuilding it unless you plan on doin something with it.

 

Yea, a high rev oil loss/burn is usually the valve seals. And by oil gasket I hope you mean oil pan gasket and therefore would have oil dripping down onto your exhaust pipe and burning off...

thats what I was told could be the problem, I was told to replace that and it'd be fixed, but I was just wondering if people where having the same problems.

haha, I'm not even "revving" it high, it just smokes when i hit 4-5k.. and by Oil gasket, i figured everybody would know what i ment since the only "oil gakst" would be my oil pan gasket, but ohwell.

I was going to swap a d series turbo kit on it, but I dont want to blow **** up untill i figure out whats going on.

I could take pictures or something of where its leaking, and everything if that helps.
