Burning oil...?
 

i have a 96 b18b engine in my ek and it seems like its burning some oil. i don't rip it much but on occasions i will and since there is no vtec it seems odd that it burns oil like my last vtect engine. what exactly causes and engine to burn oil and is there a way to fix/ prevent it or slow it down...like any additives, better oils, or engine rebuild?
i don't have a ton of cash right now since i just randomly bought my nitrous kit...lmao...so i need some good ideas to fix this damn problem..=(

how old is the motor and how much mileage is on it? Maybe it was really beaten on hard

lucas oil stablizer....at a local auto part store near you

motor eater !!!!

prolly needs oil control ring, or headwork

lol you randomly bought n2o for the car? and your worried about oil consumption

LOL

do a compression test.

your rings are doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ya try the lucas stuff but that wont do too much

sorrr yjohn

time for a rebuild

how do you know it's burnign oil...smoke..?

maybe you have a leak, but if you bag if it will burn abit of oil, I woudl say jsut get soem better oil 10 W30 and put some lucas in it

hahaha, the kit was cheap, and i was going to drive it until it died anyway before i got another engine and started building that up...i want a vtec engine again so i am just hoping everything goes well with this engine for about another month before i can hopefully afford a k20....

what the hell?

10w30 and 5w30 will run the same at OT:crazy:

just grab the lucas stablizer and do a comp. test

summer time = 20W50 oil.

john u have nitros kit??? sweet!

coming to meet this wed, i wana see :D

i also believe nitrous is NO2..:D

no, NO2 is nitrous dioxide, N2O is nitrous oxide aka laughing gas

ur right, i just checked the bottle...lmao....i got pwned...:notfair:

you didnt only get pwned you got

RAPED.


lol

chemistry pwnz you=P

you are having a boat load of problems with that motor (as i can see from other posts). Just swap it out for something else. b18b's are dirt cheap.

^^ it has given me a few problems but it now seems to run much better after i put that lucas oil stabilizer stuff in it. the level has stayed the same after driving it for the past while constantly all day...lol...and the engine even sounds better...i am gonna wait and see how it goes for the next month before i throw any more money into the engine,,, i am also getting the compression test done tomorrow so that will be a good sign on whether or not to swap it...=D
