uh no.


you probably mixed up the firing order

 

ok i had it checked out they said it was my cylinder 1 and 4 that was uhh low or something so does that mean a new engine is needed?

 

what did they mean by "low" did they do a compression test and the pressure was reading low??? explain more

 

Well ovbiously 1 and 4 have low compression if a comp. test was done. Main reasons for low compression are headgasket, rings, timing (crank) being off. This doesnt necessarily mean you need a new motor if you can do the work yourself, but if you have a shop do it then you may be better off to get another motor.

 

What color is that smoke too?

 

yes it was the compressing on cylinder 1 and 4 is low and i had one of the guys at the shop checked it out he said i needed a new bottom block?

 

whats your timing like? if you had no problems previos to swapping out the dizzy, then chances are your timing is off

 

sorry i finally decided to fix my civic the other day and turns out my timing was way off...so i got that fixed up. thanks for all the info
