im trying to get some money together and i want to rebuild the motor which is a b16a2. my question is what complete gasket kit should i get? oem kit is 195 shipped, ebay is shipped 60, and then theres felpro from autozone or discount auto. also on the valve seat seals what material does oem honda and felpro use? the ebay ones say they are viton valve seals so would that be better?

 

stick with the OEM.if not felpro would be ok....

 

i see what aterial does oem use for the valve seat seals? the ebay one uses viton, so what is oem?

 

OEM also use viton.

 

yeah i hear ya but i dunno whats the problem with my car only 84k and ive been burning oil, and my car smeels like burning oil after a long period of driving, the prvious owner said he used only synthetic so used that for about 2 oil changes then switched to semi blend, and i dunno what to do if i drive hard ill go through 1qt for 1k miles, and i have no leaks only the front seal i believe becuase i do have some oil around the crank pulley area from what my friend told me, other than that bad pcv maybe? it runs hard and all so i dunno

 

triple post.....

 

Bad pcv maybe?
Why not go out and spend the $3 to find out.

 

yeah im going to do that today but you think that could be the cause?

 

Is it wrth a shot?

 

yeah hopefully, what i dont understand is the burning smell

 

compression & leak down would the the next tests to consider before rebuild.
