what are the signs symptoms of a cracked ringland and/or ****ed piston rings other than bad compression???

 

vertical scratches when you take apart the block :dunno:

 

Is there any smoke coming out of the breather?

 

blue smoke out your exhaust would indicate muffed up piston rings

 

oil burning? that could also be leaky valve guides/seals, which are very common on hondas if they burn/use a lot of oil

 

i believe its blue but its kinda hard to tell from looking in the mirrors

just had the valve seals replaced thinking it would solve some of my blow by problem but it didnt.... so my catch can still smokes like a sum bitch. theses pics are from idle

 

hey...bro i have the same problem with my b16a. when i start my b16a little smoke comes out, but i don't were? and this happen when i install a new oil pump?

 

Do a leak down test. Then you will know where your compression leak is!! just make sure you do it at TDc on the correct stroke!!
