OMG i think im confused

Is this motor even turboed? im guessing so since your int he FI section

if your having white smoke problem, you probably messed up your headgasket. It could be a number of things
valve chipped, rings going bad, etc.

Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Your ringlands have probably owned you. Man I don't get it. Why in the hell did you pull the head before even doing a compression check? You said there was oil leaking from your motor and your experiencing blow-by. First things first find the source of the oil leak. After the leak is fixed, check your compression to make sure nothing internally is wrong with your motor. Don't jump to conclusions by pulling the head when you don't even have a clue what is wrong. Please excercise a
little common sense.

P.S. I usually just browse this site and never post. But your stupidity brought me out of the shadows.

how do you tell yourself "hey, I'm going to pull the head" without having any idea whether or not your compression is crappy? good pwnage on that one n00b.

ummm for ur info i already knew where the oil was comin from there therefore that was the whole reason of pulling the head cus it was gonna need a head gasket neways

um from past experiences and hearing how the car ran i could tell sumthin was fucked, sound just like my one honda i burnt valves in and was runnin on like 3 cylinders from NOS, only thing diff. here is it was turbo

The only thing im a noob to here is internals cus i never had to mess with pistons or rings so if u could explain what the ringlands are and where there located, if they can be replaced and how much? Its the number 2 cylinder givin me no compression so whatever it is rings, ringlands or w/e im sure they dont sell them seperatly and will just have to buy a whole kit.

The ringsland is basically the "rings" that goes around the pistons. There are three per piston (one oil ring that goes into the bottom groove and two others). You might have broken one or more on cylinder #2. They come in a kit which consist of four sets per kit. If you are running stock honda piston you can just buy a set from a honda dealer. The cost should be less than $100.00. Even though only one piston has low compression, I would suggest you change the rings on all four pistons.

If you decide to go forged piston and rods, you are looking at an average cost of about $760.00 shipped. Some places you can contact are NOPI, Race Engineering, Optionsauto, and eBay.

yea thanx man for the info, the cheapest ive found was 51 bux but do u think that the wall could have gotten scared at all?

its possible, save yourself the hassle and just find a shitty d15 and swap it in.

StanB

It's possible. The only way to verify this is by taking the cylinder head off and check the walls of each cylinder. The scars, if any, could be minimal. I hope you have GOOD LUCK!!
