I have an h22a in my accord, and had it for about 2 years now. But lately its been running really weired, it keeps dying on me when I come to a stop and let it idle. And I've been noticing that I hav been buring more oil then usual as well. And yesterday I tried to figure out what was wrong and unhooded my intake and the hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake. Then when I started the car, smoke came out of that hose.

I was told that I might have a cracked piston

Has this happend to anybody? Any second opinions?

 

have you noticed any smoke comming out the exhaust?
Have you noticed your coolant levels dropping??

I'm thinking it might be a blown head gasket.

 

the coolant hasn't been affected, I'm not sure if there is smoke comming out of the exhaust and if there is it must be very little because I haven't noticed it.

 

Then do a compresion test. That will tell you if you need to rebuild. Do a wet and a dry test.

 

if your burning alot of oil and its you see white smoke coming out of the exhaust it could possible be the piston rings are bad. Do a compression check to see if you have compression.

 

valve guides?
