I swapped out a leaking oil pan for a new one (d16y7) and now i have ended up with a starving head/ a little knock... I changed oil; filter; and the pan... thats it.... wtf now i need a new engine... or a solution.... wtf did i do wrong??

 

did you put oil back in to the correct level

 

what pan did you use? does it say P2E on the bottom?

 

I think ya need a K20

Did you touch the pump or anything?

 

are you losing oil?

 

Maybe your pickup or pickup screen got clogged somehow,or it may be the wrong pan

thats what i was thinking

 

<U>yes it does and so did the one i removed</U>... I guess im gonna have to drop the pan... and check the strainer/pickup <U>if there was anything under the baffle it would get sucked up eh?</U>

right now the car still turns over no problem with compression but the head is ticking like a bomb...

A K series? I wish i could a afford a K
I think im headed to LS territory or for the money another SOHC...
Did i touch anything?: I only dabbed off the little sludge around the strainer and main cap...

 

nope not losing any oil either i did a good job i hope... BTW oil light is on earlier before now its on all the time but before it was going on and off.... sounding more like a clogged pickup...

 

New Theory... What if there is a "pickup sized dent up into the oil pan right under the pickup? combined with 20w 50... No space for oil to get pickedup... Pictures will come im pulling the pan again... oh and theres little shavings getting picked up on the dipstick...

Yeah, replace that pan, or post pictures of it, in the meanwhile.

Though at the same time I'd be looking around for a new engine if I were you...

 

Check out the oil filter, could be defective.
more-so since your oil light pings earlier (collecting your shavings).

 

Fixed it... Pan was beat to **** right under the pickup... beat it out oil light went out but the damage is already been done... little metal shavings to small to feel and get picked up by the magnet were present in the oil... The bearings still have oil to them and i guess if i dont rag on it i still have about a couple months left... [freak] me...

 

**** happens man. wasnt your fault. gl. hopefully itll survive.

 

that sucks dude. get a jdm d15b, i love mine. i've lost 2 motors due to starvation, never again am i going to make that mistake, just be careful and check your work twice... mine started off as a ticking sound untill one day it just took a fat **** and spun a bearing.

 

down here in miami motors arent too rare.. d15b that vtec? too lazy to check on my own keep it within honda tech lol... I just had to help a buddy of mine swap out a fully built b20b with all the bells and whistles for a ls vtec... lol wierd circumstances wasnt blown or anything. I have some pics and videos... where can i post them?

 

here if u want just upload em on youtube and post a link. jdm d15b is vtec.

 

what about an f22b? i see this engine is bigger and bisimoto has some mean aftermarket parts for it... why the unpopularity?

who cares if it's unpopular? do it. be different. (although its been done). do a H-T and google search.

 

did you happen to change the pump? it might be bad

 

The strainer/pickup sump with restricted + the baffle inside the pan was squished against the pan not allowing oil to roll under the sump... Ima adjust the valves tomorrow
