Emissions
 

I have a '97 EX. It has a valve seal gone and burns oil. Any idea if this might pass emissions? I'm assuming not. Anybody have such luck?

Cheers

if it burns oil probably not

i figured as much. I just thought I'd ask.

thanks

just from past xperience because when it burns oil it passes through ur exhaust and like juss clogs up everything and wen they put the stick thing in the tip it juss ucks everything up...iunno i was just told that

I'm in the same boat as the op. I am pretty sure it will mess up your HC score.

My old eg burned a bit of oil but still passed. The HC numbers may have been near the upper limit.

well, i hear it'll be cheaper to replace the engine than to fix the seal, not too mention for one that has lower k's. I'll just go for it. $35.

Thanks guys.

wow my civics having the same problem as u too, its smokes and burns oil. I think I have to get a new engine d16y8 or d15b

which engines are those? I'm new to this. what do they go for? what are the specs? Are they an easy swap?

SOHC vtec motors from jdm eg,s and si/ex-v ek's ~130hp range. search vendors and affiliates for pricing ideas

can anybody list a reputable distributer of jdm engines? or a few in the gta?

thanks

If they physically see you burning oil, they wont even test it

thanks

ya, it failed. they said it was most likely the air filter or the 02 sensor.

Probably the filter. would the oil burning contribute to the CO readings?>

anybody?

It passed! changed the air filter and some of the other readings went up a bit.
But it passed!

Halleluah!

Praise the Lord!

only the air filter? u're lucky guy

ya, despite the oil blowing out of my exhaust, it passed!

my 92 honda civic was sputering 30 min befor i had to go and get it e tested and mine passed with flying colors
