TurboCivicSiR21

Umm do u think im that stupid, ive been doin swaps for a few years now and pulled tons of heads, already had it ordered last nite and bout to put it back on!!

TurboCivicSiR21

Well heres the deal, got the head on, flushed the engine, changed the oil and filter, and got new plugs (colder), and well its 110 started it up, sounded a lil better but still had that hessitation and its too late to rev it up and try to find out whats up. I wiped the one spot where the oil was comin out on the block to see t/m if its still comin out there but is it possible for the head or block to warp even know the car never got hot I had the head at tdc when i took it off and didnt move a think b4 it went back on so i dont think it could be the timing and dont see why id have to adjust the distributer but im gonna try that t/m also. And now that i think about it the cap and wires are stock off and old friends civic so does anyone think it could be either of those two?? Im so pissed cus im in the process of sellin this car and cant and wont sell it like this. PLEASE respond with all ur opinions. THANX

check your t-belt, maybe it jumped a tooth ?

Did you ever check your CEL readout? I know you're infinitely wise in the ways of the (ninja)swap, but you can have more than one code when you get a CEL. :P

the only thing I can think of is your oil feed tap on the back of the block is loose or leaking.

TurboCivicSiR21

No oil feed was fine, it was def. comin from under the head but car never overheated and oil and water never mixed so the head shoulda been fine (i hope). Anyhow i just went out and started it back up but dont wanna let it run long cus i dont wanna mess nething up. So while it was running i pulled the wires and noticed that the idling didnt change at all cept for maybe one cylinder and that was a lil bit, and as i reved the white smoke was blowing out the breather on the valve cover. Im bout to go try a cap, rotor and wires and well for the timing that should all be on cus i set it for tdc and nothin got moved when i pulled it so put all back on like it came off so does anyone have any ideas y it could be smoking like that? Could it be the fuel not burning cus not enough spark? But is it fuel or oil smoke thats comin out? Please Help cus im stuck at a friends house in another state til its fixed, lol, and its raining

TurboCivicSiR21

Aight im back once again with even more bad new, i think i found the problem but still need some opinions so if ur reading this please help. I got the cap rotor and wires on and car ran a lil bit better but no i noticed and talk to a few other ppl and the say i could have blow by cus there is smoke comin out the dip stick and valve cover and with the car runnin i took all the wires off one at a time and the 2nd cylinder didnt make any diff. but the rest did. This is also the same cylinder that the old spark porceline broke in.

looks like it's compression testing time. check the compression on all cylinders. there's a good chance that a piston has gone bad.

TurboCivicSiR21

Well i already know what cylinder its in and the pistons all looked fine, lile brand new cus they only got like 30k on them, but is there a possibily i coulda cracked or broke one of the rings in that cylinder? And does anyone know a good reasonable place for stoke and aftermarket rings and head gaskets?
