i think my motor is fucked
 

well i was on my way to class and stopped by the gas station to put in gas. and so i pump it and whatever. and i go down the street after that and i come to a light. and smoke is coming from my hood. so i chill for a lil bit and was like oh its okay it usually does this.( ehh i know its not normal but u know). but it didnt stop so i was like ---- what the ---- is wrong with this ----. i didnt push it all day. and so i pull into a parking lot and i pop my hood to see smoke coming out of my breather filter. it just constantly smokes. not heavily but its coming out. what the ---- is wrong with my car???

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

mine does that too, our engines are probably both fucked, we better start LS/VTEC projects, oh wait, I already did.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

ehh im not to fond of and ls/vtec. id rather go with a straight ls or a gsr motor. or an h22. but as of right now. i have a money issue. haha but my bro did tell me he'd by me a new motor. well another sohc. ehh. i told him to by me an h since im moving up to live with him in minnesota. and he wants me to drive over there. but the thing is the car drives and feels the same when i get on it. what do u guys think it is???

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

How is the oil pressure on your car? Everything else within the norm (temp, timing, oil level)? Do a compression check when you get a chance to tell you some things.

I have a 95 civic EX that I will be parting out soon, 108k miles automatic.. let me know if you need anything.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

What color smoke? Yeah, do a comp test and let us know.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

i dont know about oil pressure. i didnt get a chance to buy another ss line to bring my t fitting and needle valve to the fire wall. so oil pressure. i dont know. everything else is normal. and it doesnt happen right away. i have to drive for a good ten mins. then it'll start smoking. yeah i need to do that. if this motor is fucked. i wont be boosted for a while. next setup will probably be built ls or gsr turbo. or maybe an all motor R. the smoke is white. mos def its oil. you can smell that ---- burning probably my ring lands ehh

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

does anyone even have a clue what im talking about???heh...theres like smoke coming out of my breahter filter and out of the back of my block. i think its that black canister on the back. theres smoke coming out of there. it doesnt start right away. just after about 10 mins of driving. all the power is still there. what can it be????

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

im pretty sure thats blow by, as in when your engine gets going and the oil gets flowing well, oil is blowing by your rings and out your exhaust and everywhere else...

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

oh so in other words my motor needs a rebuild???i figured it was blow by. but ---- it seems like my oil is heating up a lot and i was thinking maybe thats why its smoking. sometimes it wont even come out of my exhaust. it just comes out of the valve cover. since its like almost 100 degree's here in cali. and plus is going through the turbo. and the oil is heating up pretty good. u think that could be why its smoking??? cause my car gets hot too. i hate cali. well atleast where im at. its too ------- hot. minnesota is gonna be perfect for turbo. cold air. dont know about the elevation there though. but its always cold. well my brother says it gets hot sometimes i said how hot he said 60 degree's. i was like ---- thats still cold. but yeah. i think im just gonna go pick up a new motor and slang my turbo kit

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

Is your pvc system connected? Or do you just have one of those cheap breather filters hanging off the valve cover? Hook it back up if it isn't, might fix the problem.. oh yeah, replace the pvc valve while u are at it.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

I haven't noticed mine smoking from the black box on the back of the block, but it comes out of the breather filter for sure. where's the pcv valve?

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

on the manifold the big fat vac looking hose that runs down below the im to that black box. (next to the fpr hose) Anyways yea i think you have blow by to man, its weird that it takes 10 minutes though, Might be in the early stages or your rings may not be fucked up at all

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

yes my pcv is hooked up. the breather filter is on the hole where its supposed to connect to the intake. im gonna take a better look at it tomorrow. adjust my valves while im at it. its somewhat ticking. and i was coming home just a lil while ago. and my car was smoking like a mother fucker. like big time. im sure my motor is fucked. ahhh ---- it. i got a spare d15b7. we'll see how long that'll last. heh. but if i can fix my z6 ill stick with that

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

Ringland ownz you..

<--- See Avatar,

Do a comp check, I bet your low

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

probably is low. i wouldnt doubt it. haha i dont want to go buy a compression tester. ----. im gonna have to use that as my avatar now. hahaha or my sig. ehhh. ill probably pull it this weekend and drop a b7 in. thanks for helpin out guys

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

Dude, a compression tester gauge costs like $15, you might be able to rent one.. call around. Or buy one and take it back (wonder if wal mart sells them). First thing I would have done is check the compression.

I can sell ya a d16z6 bottom end if ya need it (I'll even test the compression for ya before I pull it)

Read the thread on checking compression if you need help on actually performing the task.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

im pretty sure its fucked. im going to say 1 3 and 4 are fucked. 2 is still okay. because if i pull the plug wire from 1 3 or 4 the car will shut off. and if i pull 2 it wont. i used to do this before and it just changes the idle a lil bit. but now it smokes from when i first start it. heh. ---- it. how much do u want for that z6 bottom end???

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

Oil gasket leak?

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

you got it backwards dood, only cyl 2 is fucked.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

are you sure? because i did this when my car was normal. and when i pulled the plug wires out one at a time. the idle just changed a lil bit. so im sticking to my theory. all is fucked except 2

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

ill bet you're counting them backwards and #3 is the only one fucked.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

look at it this way, if you disconnect a spark plug wire you're shutting off that cylinder. if #2 does nothing when you disconnect it then it's probably always disconnected, or in other words fucked.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

pull out the dipstick and put your thumb on the hole. If there is pressure then your orfed. :o

best method is to pump the cy with air and listen where it is coming from.

been there done that. Im all motor now :P

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

That's where my money is.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

no im not counting them backwards it starts from the driver side. starting at 1 where the timing cover is. do you really think im that stupid. nah but seriously. ive done this before. well pulling out the plug wires. done it to each and every one of them and before when my car was normal. the idle would change a little bit. and not that its fucked. when i pull out 1 it turns off. 3 it turns off and 4 it turns off. i dont know. i dont give a ----. its fucked up and thats all to it.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

cylinder #2 is fucked up man, when you pull the damn plug out and it does NOTHING that means your cylinder is DEAD.. and by pulling out another plug your running 2 DEAD cylinders now... car won't run with it like that.... once again #2 cylinder is FUXORZ

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

whoops i posted from my friend alias... (88dxT) sorry guys.. that was me on the last post. ;D

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

oh ----, a noob was about to get stomped. not really, I just thought we had another smart noob.

we figured since you think that when you pull out a plug wire and the engine dies that it's a bad cylinder then you couldn't count your cylinders correctly.

Re:i think my motor is fucked
 

ehhh whatever...im gonna pull it out one of these days... too fucken lazy...anybody wanna buy a z6 head???hahaha oh oh its got a aem cam gear
