I'm in need of help with my 93 ls integra. I sucked some water up in the intake, it started sputtering and shutting off, also shooting out white smoke from the exhaust pipe. Now it wont start. Throtlebody was froze shut, and when I took the spark plugs out there was ice between the gaps in # 3 and 4 cylendars. I did a compression test on it and I got 100psi in cylendar 1, 86 in #2, 60 in #3, and 25 in #4, dont know where to go from there. Also no knocking or visible holes in block. I could realy use some help.

 

first your really lucky to even be able to do a compression test. Most people result in a hydro locked motor or a rod through the block. I would suggest putting a cap full of oil in the cylinder to make sure the cylinder walls dont get all shitty. You should pull the plugs, even crank it with the plugs out, it'll get the rest of the water out, change the oil, you may have even blew your head gasket (the reason why you had white smoke, along with low *** compression), might have bent valaves, see if your valve train is making a **** load of noise.

 

Thanks for the advice. I already took the spark plugs out and cranked it several times. I think you might be right on the head gasket.

 

Sorry but chances are there is still very serious damage, I bet on bent rods, hope for the best.

 

yeah, I bent rods, sorry.

 

How did you suck up water? sorry to hear about that though

 

Bypass valves avoid that completely right?????...just wondering cuz im gonna get a CAI soon
