H22 compression, really low. Blowing smoke, say goodbye?
so i got a car for a pretty good deal 'non running' and then i was trying to get it fixed. its an h22a in a 96 civic.
it stalls out and the blows some whitish smoke with some black particles liek its burning oil/fuel too.
the compression ran at around 130 across, i am going to the shop tommorrow to talk with the dudes, but they said i should be thinking about a new h22 swap (for $1500 installed they say)
is this agreeable to you all? they say the piston rings/seals are probably shot, this is (was) a build engine. suggestions? not sure i wanna get an entire new swap, this car already caused me a a big headache.

Re: (prelude_h22vtec)

Sounds like you need some new valves....You could just buy a whole different motor for about that price or even cheaper and drop it in...

Re: (alterdcreations)
hey altered creations.
let me give you some more info on the engine before you want to get involved.
its a h22 bored to 2.4l with eagle rod pistons with 12.5:1 ratio, ran on pump gas still. it was running fin, then now it has really bad compression (between 120-130) so im prol gunna do a stock h22 like i said, and ill pretty much take any offer for the old one. do you want intake and header too or just the engine?
better talk to me direct cmorera2(at)yahoo.com
