I have a DOHC ZC in my crx and i have gas getting in to my oil why is this?? i think the timing could be out a little could that be the reason??

imported_kIeRaN

is it burning oil as well?

imported_crx__4u2nv

ummm no it isn't

how can you tell there is gas in your oil...

imported_crx__4u2nv

#1 you pull the dip stick out and smell it
#2 the oil is very very runny
#3 the oil goes from being at normal level to like almost double
its not the head gasket either

Unburned gas is getting into your oil.
Most likely cause is piston ring failure.

Gunmetalef

but that would cause him to burn oil as well thats what i don't understand

imported_05CivicSi

maybe he cant notice the oil burning because more gas just keeps getting into the oil

long periods of idling cause cylinder wall washdown... there are 3 rings on the piston... combustion, oil control... and another one I can't remember. Anyways, you could lose gasoline through the piston rings and not be burning oil that much.

actually guys i found out what was wrong with my engine i wen tto the site www.dmoore.com/crx/zc.htm and i found out that my timing was off by one tooth so i found out that the injectors were all firing at the rite times BUT the gas was missing the fires and ending up in to my oil that way so i changed the oil and changed the timing and now the car is running perfect PLUS my cars compression is perfect so i don't think that was the problem at all
Thanks To all you guys for the info

So i guess this fourm can be closed now??lol
