Well my car started running shitty this weekend, really bad compared to how it was. I did a compression check today and it wasn't as i had hoped.
car is a sohc 97 civic dx with a 98 ex head/intake manifold with a greddy 15g turbo kit.
Compression
4 - 65
3 - 110
2 - 200
1 - 200

my piston rings are blown on 3 and 4, you should see the oil my cars dumping out the valve cover nipple. i dont know much about engine internals so i need some help. should i just replace them with OEM?(im going back to all d16y7 motor, ditching the ex head, its been nothing but problems since i swapped it on, or should i get something else? i don't have alot to spend, this is my daily driver, if it wasn't i'd be building the block up. i just need something that will work good for daily driving but also if i wanna boost it higher than 6 psi something that can hold it


*reason they blew my charge pipe popped off friday on the highway, pulled over and fixed it but as i was i disconnected the wastegate by accident, got back on highway and it hit 14psi

any insight is much appreciative

 

not in the budget, but thanks

 

Did you put oil in the low cylinders and see if compression shoots up?

If its the rings, I would just replace them with Honda OEM. They are like $25 a set. Good luck

 

no.. he melted the rings.... i saw one at 30.. trust me 60 isn't off by much. if you take off the head you'll see the top looks like a mushroom

 

exactly, and since im going to be in there already and my pistons have 94k miles on them i mind as well replace them.

any suggestions/links to good deals? just like the progressive commerical im not trying to pay too much
