i sold my crx about 20 days ago with a ls in it and the guy says it has a rod nock? wtf i found out from his friend he put 9qrts of oil in it! will that make a rod nock or broken rod

 

Im not sure on the rod knock, but I would say that he caused his own engine failure. Without knowing the condition of the engine to begin with, before the purchase, its hard to tell.

 

who in the hell would put 9 qts. of oil into a honda engine?

dumbass

 

WTF!! Was he on drugs?

 

Ya everyone knows it's only 8 quarts. Doubt it's rod knock. Tell him to drain out 5 quarts and see what happens.

 

if you put too much oil in, it has the tendency to foam/bubble. i dont know if it would cause rod knock but maybe that is what happened.

 

Its possible with too much oil...now with 9 qts I dont know. Too much oil can lead to foaming and airation of the oil...air instead of oil lubing your bearings certainly isnt good...either way its the kids own fuckup.

 

I've seen an engine smoking like a bitch with only 2 extra quarts of oil in it. After draining the excess oil it smoked for a few days, but went back to normal.

But 4.75 extra quarts of oil?



Jesus that kid is an idiot.

 

Sold is Sold drain all that oil out and its going to burn for a while good luck

 

Besides the fact that he is an idiot. How much oil did it have in it before he put 9 qts in maybe he ran it so low that the rod started knocking then figured it neeed ALOT of oil?

 

Its his fault man, hes a dummy for telling you he put 9 quarts in though

My friend did that, he called me up and said come over and change my oil, I over filled it a little. I went over to take a look, he said he poured and poured more oil down the engine. He said he thought it was suppose to over flow from valve cover. Well when I drained it, it took about 3 of those things from auto zone to catch all the oil. People like him keep me in buisness.

 

You think hed reliase he just spent 50 bucks for oil and a filter when Jiffy Lube does it for 25 bucks, something must be wrong....

Or Jiffy Lube's wrong.....

 

well its sold so im not gonna do **** for him now he probaly ran it like **** too

i think he was kidding.

but this stupid kid in my autotech class decided to change his tranny oil. so he drained the tranny oil but then put 4 more quarts into the engine. he burned a lot of it off before they finally found out what happened

lol

 

That much oil could have hydro-locked the engine and cause a piston or rod knock. As is means, as is.

 

I know too much oil is bad but how does too much oil hydro lock the motor?

could stop the piston from travelling DOWN maybe?

I remember reading in Honda Tuning they put double the amount of oil in a motor then they should have and it ran fine, blowing smoke and made no more power then a d16a6 (they used a b16a1), drain half and it ran like a normal b16 again.

Of course! If you fill the bottom end with oil, the pistons have to move that oil out of the way when they move up and down.
I am surprised the engine ran at all.
