burns oil no smoke, drinks coolant
well pretty much my d16z6 goes throw about a quart a month on daily driving, the radiator is empty about every other week and i catch these things before its get dangerously lower. i dont drip much oil beside the lil from the oil pan gasket, easy fix, the lower timing cover looks like it has a some coolant coming out, prolly water pump, but my car will over heat a tad to just about alot even with the radiator full. i jiggled the fan connector and it kicked on and since then my coolant level has been better.
i guess my question is i've got a decent head that ran perfect ready to be put on if valve seals sound to be whats wrong? compression showed 185-190 across the board. oh also should i have the head true'd?? came off a running motor that was good. |
Re: burns oil no smoke, drinks coolant
what kind of oil you running? I find it normal to burn a quart a month

Re: burns oil no smoke, drinks coolant
do a leakdown test also
um fix all the leaks If you rape on a motor oil loss is normal |

Re: burns oil no smoke, drinks coolant
yeah, I'd say possibly headgasket/waterpump leaking or even when it get's a little hot it pukes out your resivoir....? $40 to mill a head sounds about right to me
