well today my car started to bog down real bad (jdm b16 swapped crx dx) and accelerate terribly so i took it home and went to look atn my spark plugs and the area where the wires connected to the plugs was filled with oil about 4 inches high! took my plugs out and they were pretty much spotless ans the oil drained back down, cleaned the plugs put it back in started the car for a second it smoked REAL bad then shut it off, went to check the oil and dry as a bone, now the engine is a jdm b16 with less then 45xxx on it and pretty much brand new, the engine BURNS/DRIPS ZERO OIL!!! what the hell happened? and a quick question but would the jdm b16 and usdm b16 from the em1 run the same oilo and oil filter?

Definately get a new grommet and VC gasket set. Did the oil drain bolt come loose? top it up again and check for mysterious leaks.

 

grommet as in sprk plug o ring? gonna go get all this tomorow lets hope honda has it

 

Just go to advance auto parts and buy the valvecover set. Cost like 12 bucks for the vc gasket and it comes with the 4 rings that go for your spark plugs.

 

dont know if you know but what kind of filter would i use for my jdm b16? any b series or what?

 

All honda oil filters are the same except for the s2000 oil filter. Honda kept them all the same for all of the engines.

 

alright thanks guys i appreciate the help

 

wellgot new gaskets and oil/filter and was putting the vc back on and snapped the fricking vc acorn nut bolt off gott go order some from honda now, second one ive had to replace.....

 

well changed all the selas in the vc and changed my oil, ran perfect all day and when i went ot go home i started it up idled a little low drove liek half a mile and started to bog really bad and smelled like gasoline, clenaned the plugs put em back in and ran fine? does any one have ANY idea what could be causing it to bog llike this at all?

 

Whats the gap set at on the plugs that you have?

 

havent checked them since i bought the car about ammonth ago, what should thet be at? but even if they are wrong why would it only do it sometimes?

 

rocker seals they go undr the valve cover autozone 8 bucks

 

i already got alll the seals that go under the vc?

 

I believe the gap should be set at .044, I always found when I reset my plugs it cured the odd high rpm misfire, bog and sputter...
Maybe your plugs could be fouled?

 

the plugs are pretty much brand new ngk, there spotless when i pilled them, but im gonna be getting a new dizzy cap rotor and wires and check my gap so hopefully iy all works out here
