I just got my car back from the shop today and the mechanic told me this:

Compression Test showed Cylinder 1, 2, and 3 are showing 225psi (im pretty sure) and Cylinder 4 is showing 10psi. It smokes heavily when given acceleration.

Its an H22a. Was running a Drag 3 Turbo kit in it @6psi. Turbo kit is out and running all motor now. All oil lines and leakes have been plugged up. Where should I even start?

 

sounds like cylinder 4 could use some new rings. time for a rebuild.

 

sounds like #4 piston has a hole in it. call me up cory

Neither, you cracked the ringlands on piston #4..

You are going to have to either resleeve or get a new block.. might as well build it with some decent rods and pistons if you decide to resleeve..

don't ride around with it like that, you will just damage more stuff..

Are you just using an FMU for management? if so, too timing was your problem here, go with a good setup next time (CROME/Uberdata/etc)

 

I dont know what FMU is, but I know the car is running Hondata s200 w/ boost. If that helps any.

 

its ok cory, he cant read.

and an FMU is fuel management unit, adds more fuel to the car(commonly used on turbo cars). if you had one, you'd know

 

thank you sir

 

i got somewhat of the same problem, im doing the tests when i get back to school this week. francisco how much would you charge me to do the rings? sorry about the head gasket i completely forgot

 

Who can't read?
