Hi guys

im new in this forum and i really need your help. I put a new engine in my 2001 S2k ( 2500 miles after i buy it ) and it have only 21000 miles and seriously drink oil. I do a search and some people talk about krankvent. whats this thing? Is it really good to reduce oil cunsumption?


thanks in advance

 

Hi
Are you blowing smoke? Could be a bad piston ring or they never seated properly. Just a thought. Unless it's on the ground it has to be from the top end.

 

no, i see sometimes a little bit of smoke when i shift only. The engine perform great i think but smell oil consumption when i go over 6500 rpm.

 

damn could be your valve seals but they dont go bad untill you get mad miles on the motor. sorry cant really think of anyhting that will help besides a rebuilt head

 

ok, but if i put a krank vent, can it help or not?? I heard alot of good result about this but i dont want to buy that if its not useful.

 

I have heard good things about the krank vent too but I dont have first hand experience with it so im not gona say if it will or wont

 

I try some product like oil treatment suppose to reduce oil consumption but nothing change. I think i will do a compression test, even if the engine have now only 23000 miles. The original engine of my car blow at only 41000 miles, but i never put oil in it after 2500 miles whit 10w40 castrol.

 

what color is the smoke???
if it has a blueish tint its oil....

what oil is in there? if its too thin you will burn oil.....

Check all your breather pipes for blockages, this is one of the main reasons for heavy oil useage.

 

i see blue smoke only when i go over 8k rpm. But when the vtec engage i can smell something burning i dont know if its oil burning or only exhaust. I think its oil burning cause when i put a test pipe, the smell still the same.

I use Castrol 10w40 non-synthetic.

The two pipes indicated on the pic are the main breathers, you will have to pull them off to check whether they are blocked. Flush them through with some brake cleaner or a cleaner of some sort. If you have a hard blockage you may need to use a piece of wire like a coat hanger or something.

 

ok. thanks for info and pictures .

I will try this. But can it possible that piston rings or the cylinders are in bad conditions?

No problem

I would find it hard to believe with that low mileage that the rings are shot, unless the car has had more miles than shown on the odo.
