Hello every one, nice to meet everybody. some call me by my real name, joe, and others call me brush or honda joe. ok check this out. I came up on this d16y8 with lighten flywheel, stage to clutch, adjustable cam gear, upgrade cam, skunkz intake, aem fuel rail, ect. hell i wanted to yard out my little peice of **** in my 94 honda civic so bad, that i just threw it in. well after 4 or 5 minutes of running the new addition it seemed to be running rich, couse it started up with a whiter colored smoke. started getting worse and worse. so i turned her off and broke out the compression tester. here were the first results were as followes, #1= 40, #2= 50, #3= 52, #4= 30. $#%%^^%, i said. so i did it again, but this time i poured alittle oil down into cyclinders first, and my results were this, #1= 100, #2= 50, #3=80, #4= 80. before i go any further, i would like some oppinions on wether its a blown head gasket, cracked head, build up under valve faces, burned valve seats,cracked, or bent valves. Here is some thing esle, instead of coolant coming out of the exaust manafold like one would see normally, there was oil seeping out of mine. thank you for your alls time.

 

A leakdown test might be able to give a little more information about who isn't working correctly..
Since there was white smoke, I'm guessing its a head gasket though.
Goodluck!

 

Head gasket. White smoke = coolant.

 

definately head gasket. If you tear it down to replace it, I'd take the head apart and give it a look around too if I were you. You can't trust people these days and you never know what you're buying...

 

Ouch, nasty compression numbers. +1 on the head gasket. Take the head to a shop and have it skimmed just to make sure the surface is clean. It's a cheap insurance policy.
