forty04 said 'seen', that does not imply that it has happened to you, before you argue next time, get your facts straight, because you're making an arguement over nothing, he just corrected what you originally said, now you're all blown up about it.

 

You will argue about everything, won't you? I'm not blown up about it, you guys just like to pick on the newbs. Give it a rest.

I gave my opinion that I THINK it's his valve seals, you guys are trying to be ****** because I don't think he's going to need to tear down he entire damn engine to fix his problem?

 

no, that's not how it is, we do not 'pick' on people, unless they are dumbass's like the people that come on the forum to talk **** or say random crap about how hondas suck.

 

Well that's wonderful. What I'm getting sick of here is giving my opinion. Next thing I know an administrator is stating "this persons engine did this!" Who cares? These aren't the same two engines.

PREKGSR and Remmys engines are not the same! I'm not going to compare two engines because they've both burnt oil.

Can we get back to the topic at hand? Without actually being there to look at it I can't be sure, I simply wanted to give him the cheaper alternative, from what has happened with others Civics' in the past that I've read, the valve seals have gone well before the rings.

If it's not it, he's out what, a timing belt, head gasket and the time it takes to put the head back on the car?

If you guys are going to continue to argue with me, PM me because this is now the 3rd thread where an administrator of the board has tried calling me out.

 

i see where you're coming from, and i'm not saying you're opinions are wrong, i only commented the part of the argument that didn't match up. the admin's are not calling you out, they're giving their advice which they think may be better (just like everyone else)

 

its like a war zone in here , c'mon guys its kinda pointless to be fighting over this. everyone is entitled to their opinions , that's just how it works. first of all thank you everyone for they're answers. and second the least i want is a fight on a thread i started over something that can be solved without getting to this point.anyways thank you everyone i'll try to fix the car problem if you guys have any onther suggestions feel free to post them , i need all the help i can get.

 

Honestly, that is horrible logic. "Just throw a bunch of time and money at it and hope it fixes the problem!" Running a compression test will at least give him a better idea of what;s going on.

 

I'm with pete, most hondas burn alittle oil when you get on them. Unless it's alot I wouldn't worry about it. How much oil does it burn in a 3,000 mile oil change interval? That's what I would find out before I even though about getting my tools out.

 

and I never said don't run a compression test. He asked for opinions on what to correct - and I gave him a damn good solution. A whole bunch of money meaning he's out at tops 50 bucks for a new belt and head gasket? In the meantime he can clean up his head while it's apart.

 

You show me where I can find a new OEM headgasket and timing belt for 50 bucks. Not to mention, it takes time to do that ****. If this is his daily driver, he probably can't afford for it to be down for an extended period of time.

You said that he should take his head apart and replace the valve seals, and I simply said that he should run a FREE test to be sure he's tackling the correct problem.
