I originaly had a d15b8 which i swapped on a b7 head for cheap and ever since it hasn't ran to good. I'm running some rc310cc on the stock computer so i can move the car in and out of the garage when needed until the s300 goes in. I replaced all the valve seals with brand new ones. When the car is running you can smell burnt fuel because of how rich it is. but there is also smoke everywere and not dark like fuel. Sometimes it smells like it has a hint of oil/fuel. When you look at the smoke it has a hint of blue in it. I pulled of my turbo manifold and in exhaust ports 2 and 3 there is some liquid black almost looks like tar in the ports on the side,but thinner. ports 1 and 4 are nice and have dry carbon in them. I took out the spark plugs and looked at my pistons which has some kind of liquid on them all around the piston on #2 and 3.

i checked my oil level and it doesn't seem to move hardly any. there isn't any milky coloring in the oil from coolant, the head gasket is brand new with some ARP head studs. My coolant also doesn't have any oil in it.

The original gas is still in the car from december and the car has started a couple times since them.

please help. any ideas what is going on

im finaly gonna get to use my leakdown tester tonight and i will do a compression test as well for the hell of it.

 

if u replaced ur valve guides it could be rings.....maybee......wouldnt be a head gasket. Hmmm r ur plugs real black and sooty almost wet looking?


Black smoke=Fuel
White smoke=Coolant
Blue smoke=Oil

 

I got the same problem, converted my car to obd1 ran crome and used the manny off a 94 civic dx to get the 2 wire iacv and my car runs rich as hell stock injectors and regular injectors, i swapped the obd2 ecu back in and swapped mannys and stock injectors again and its still running rich as crap

 

i did a compression test and came up with these numbers.

#1-175
#2-170
#3-165
#4-170

i was talking to a technition at work and he says it might be my injectors leaking/ no staying shut when they are off. I am gonna do a leak down test.

My technition also said that gas is made from oil and its a possibility that the hint of oil is from the gas

the spark plugs are not wet they are dry carbon black

yea, ur runing rich as hell......hmmm

 

i wonder if there is anyway u could stick a q-tip or cotton swab or sumthin of that nature in the hole for ur plug and rub the top of ur piston then pull it out ,u might be able to smell/see what that liquid was/is........its worth a try

 

the rich part i am fine with. i am just running a stock computer with rc310cc's right now so i can just move the car. I am getting the hondata s300 installed and tuned within the next couple weeks. i am just trying to find out what the liquid is. maybe i can rig up a q-tip on a long screw driver and dab the piston.
