What Happened?
 

??? Last nite on the way to a friends i was cruisin down the highway in 4 gear half throttle gettin on it a lil bit then let off then started cruisin again and when i hit the gas it sounded like it was only runnin on 2 or 3 cylinders. It didnt make no bang or anything like if i were to threw a rod or piston. Soon as i got it here i popped the hood and noticed oil all over the back of the block, car was still runnin with no knocks or nething? Could it be a head gasket or what do u guys think? Im hopin nothin internal cus this is like a new engine, jdm d15b so let me know what u guys think. THANX

by the looks of it it seems like i don't know what the ---- it is. maybe your oil ffed line started leaking and the ecu went into limp mode cause of the sudden drop in oil pressure. any CELS? and do you have a CEL installed in the cluster?

Re:What Happened?
 

Actually the CEL did come on but thats cus i dont have a missing link yet and when it gets to a certain rpm CEL comes on from readin all that boost so thats y i left off, turn the switch off then back on. I also noticed today that my vaccum line was off to the fpr but not sure if i knocked off last nite from lookin at stuff. But car starts right up with no knocks or bangs so now that i think about it b4 i pull the head im gonna see if that oil line came off but still the car is only runnin on like 2 or 3 cylinders. ???

aight almost ready to pull the head, pulled all plugs and notice the porecline was broken on one of them, id have the head off now if it was for one the the exaust manifold bolts strippin on me but i see i aint gettin much help here, im just hopin nothin happen to the pistons or rods and thats its just the head gasket. ??? People throw me ur opinions plzzz

Re:What Happened?
 

i fthe porcelin is broken on a spark plug good chance is that you're not getting a full spark in that cylinder. my car ran like that after i washed the engine and a spark plug hole in the vlave cover was filled to the top from the plug on up. ran good when i got the water out and started it up again. replace the broken spark plug and then try it. maybe the spark is jumping from the plug to the valve cover on the broken spark plug.

Yea but remember i said i seen oil on the back of my block, so im hopin its the head gasket. Anyone know a quick site i can go to for the head bolts torque specs and sequence cus im way for away from hope and have no manuals and cant find info online. THANX

Re:What Happened?
 

if you pull the head you should put a new headgasket on,
or chances are you'll be pulling it again real soon.

but ---- man, stop jumping into things.

how about you check EVERYTHING before you go ripping the head off your new motor.
you hadnt even checked your oil lines before you started planning on pulling the head??

check ALL your lines, hoses, plugs, etc, for anything damaged, unhooked, broken, or just plain loose.
then give everything a visual check.

examine the sparkplug holes, then replace the plugs.

see if it runs better.

if its the same, then yeeah, thats when i'd think about pulling the head. but only then.

Re:What Happened?
 

too late i just took it off, pistons are clean as ----, anti freeze is like crystal clear clean like new and i only seen oil in the drivers side rear corner but cant tell if it was the head gasket, can u even tell if there blown or what not but i didnt see anywhere else back there it could have came from.

Re:What Happened?
 

well i hope you ordered a new headgasket , because now that youve taken the head off you cant just put the head back on.

Re:What Happened?
 

did you find where the oil was comming from? maybe an oil fitting failed.
