With a N/A stock engine, its more than likely the head gasket. A compression and Leakdown check will tell you for sure.

 

going to try leakdown.. thanks for the help guys thred over!

 

Blown HG. Sell the car while your ahead.

 

Let us know how it goes.

If you need to buy a HG, make sure you get a OEM honda one.

If you are even thinking about doing any kind of a build, I would put ARP head studs in, and crank them down more than the stock specs. Might as well do it while you have the head off.

STFU n00b.

A HG is a weekend job. A full day if you have done one before.

If the mileage is getting high, replace the HG, Timing Belt, Tensioner, Water Pump, Front cam seals, and continue to enjoy the car.

 

if it was a broken sleeve it would be putting a significant amount of oil in the coolant tho wouldnt it

 

time to change head gasket

 

BHG!!!!!!
AHHHH!!!!!

Blown HG

 

its a bad head gasket not cheap either

 

hg is only like $40

 

i just helped my friend put an engine together, it sounds like you had the same situation we went through, we went through 3 head gaskets, had the head resurfaced and got new dowels for the head. instead of hooking everything back up and before putting the cams and stuff back on, just bolt the head down, connect all your hose and run water through the radiator and pump it, wait like 2-5 min for it all to flow through, if you didn't connect your oil line, you should see water coming out of it, if you do something wasn't plugged up in there. my buddy took his head to get cleaned and he had to change his valves on piston #1 since it was messed up but we eventually had to use a diff head. that's how the oil got into the radiator and how it got to the whole block, head, and oil pan. unbolt your oil pan bolt to see if water runs through that too. i'm not sure if this helps but that's what we did to trouble shoot the problem...

he got his head pressure checked and all that good stuff too. we finally figured where it was leaking after 2 weeks of trouble shooting...

99% of the time when you have oil in the coolant it's the result of a blown headgasket. Check that out first, because that WILL be the problem, rarely if that isn't the case then you are unlucky and need to check the sleeves.

So in this case Busted HG FTW!

 

Sounds like a headgasket! Has that already been said?
