Honda Prelude blown head gasket?
I got myself another h22 (180k km) since my other one (260k km) died
Ive notice that my new h22 runs and start way better than my old one but ive also noticed less power, so i made a compression test
You know from a tester to another results could be different
Anyway my old h22 was knocking bad and ends up with 175psi in 3 cylinders, and 150psi in the cylinder timing belt side
The new h22 is 175 in every cylinders, but the one from the vtec side made steam or smokes while taking the pressure and took like 5 turns instead of 3-4 to reach 175, then i removed the engine from the lude because i wanted to replace timing belt, flywheel, clutch, and mainly to check where its leaking oil, as i can see, oil seems to come from the head gasket from the back specialy where the piston smokes or steamed..., vtec also leaks but i dont think oil would follow the path all the way of the head to make all that mess, also noticed a lot of missing coolant while removing the engine, also noticed oil (less than 1000km on it) is colored brown and kinda thick, also noticed the tunnel of the plug where the cylinder steamed became a lil rusty compare of the 3 others that look like new, so i believe i have a blown head gasket, possible? No smokes from tailpipe
