Pulled the oil jet gapped the plugs. Throwing a code 17 so cHANGED THE o2 SENSORS, NOW SHE WONT START. pULLED THE PLUGS and saw oil .we just put a brand new head gasket and torqued to helms. WTF, now there's oil on the plugs.
BTW is a 91 civic Si w/ a D16A6 w/ a Y8 head thats all HELP ME PLZ
thnx

 

What headgasket did you use?

 

OEm one and tourqued it to specs

What is the tourque on headbolts just for reassurance

 

also it doesnt throw codes(OBD 0) just that the red light stays on

 

if the red light stays on, it means the ECU is bad. it could also mean the ROM is bad if you have the ECU chipped.

also, o2 sensor is code 1.

 

Did you torque down the head using 88-91 specs or 96-00? Because when I did my mini-me (d16y7 head/b2 block), I used the 88-91 specs and I was burning oil. Re-torqued head bolts to those of a d16z6 Vtec head, and the problem went away. Perhaps your problem is similar. Here's a question: Are you burning radiator fluid as well?

do a search, or atleast look through the FAQ topic... it'll save you a lot of time.

 

wats the tourque specs the head is a y8

 

did you even read the link i posted? do i need to hold your hand?

1. Install the intake manifold and tighten the nuts in a criss-cross pattern in 2 or 3 steps, beginning with the inner nuts.
2. Install the exhaust manifold and tighten the nuts in a criss-cross pattern in 2 or 3 steps, beginning with the inner nut.
3. Install the exhaust manifold bracket.
4. Install two dowel pins, head gasket, and cylinder head
-Apply clean engine oil on the bolt threads and washer contact surface
-Always use a new cylinder head gasket
-Turn the cam pulley to TDC before installing
5. Install the bolts that secure the intake manifold to its bracket but do not tighten them yet (optional, I decided not to do this because the intake manifold bracket is a bitch to get to)
6. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps, working your way from the inside bolts to the outside bolts.
-Step 1: 22 lb ft
-Step 2: 53 lb ft
7. Install the exhaust pipe A on the exhaust manifold.
8. Tighten the bolts for intake manifold bracket (again, optional)
9. Install the exhaust pipe A on its bracket
10. After the installation, check that all the tubes, hoses, and connectors are installed correctly.
11. Adjust the valve timing.
12. Apply liquid gasket to the head mating surface of the number 1 and number 5 or number 6 cam holder then install the cylinder head cover (you can neglect this because you need to leave it off for the timing belt install)
13. Install air intake.
14. Fill radiator with coolant.

 

yo i hope you didn't put the gasket on upside down and block the oil return hole,lol that would suck, had a friend do it before on his b16a, that sucked pushed oil into the cylinders and a small amount seep out the dizzy side of the head, he's a dumb *** and just kept crankin it before he knew what it was.

Actually this was my thinking also.. You might have put the head gasket on upside down, Problem is there is only one way that I know of to find out

 

i dont think so cuz she ran and drove it home and the next day she wouldnt start
and i did tourqe it to 53 ft lbs thnx
now theres fuel on the plugs everytime we crank, we pull it and tried to dried and crank it out idont know

 

im burning oil after a mini me..

What are the torque specs of the z6 heads?
I torque mine to the same specs as a b1.

 

I think the torque specs on the Z6 head are 53 ft pounds but dont quote me on that..

 

tt thnx for the info guys

 

thnx guys it was the ground off the mani
