I have been having a lot of blow by and compression loss. I was told that it was a bad head gasket. Got a new one nothing changed. Also I noticed that I had a bend PCV hose so I though it would fix everything. Well of corse I wouldn't be doing all these if it worked. So far I have spend $40. I had good compression except in the #3 cylinder, 50PSI.
Now that I got the new PCV hose the blow by isn't as bad but still too much and now my compression is 145/100/135/135. It was 155/50/145/145, all from the PCV allowing the crank case to breathe better.:banghead: Aslo I had a shit load more power after I finished the EFI swap and now after getting some what better compression and HEADERS I feel like I still have a carb on 20" rims. It is slow.:mad: :crying:
I put #3 piston at TDC and ran air into it. Instead of turning the engine over like the other cylinders, the air came out the oil jet and the 2 oil return lines. A mechanic said that was because of a bad head gasket. Well the gasket was 4 days old, but I got a new one and still no differnece. I checked for any cracks and if the head is square. NOPE. Pistons in good shape and no marks on the walls, so the piston rings were good. So far there is no visible damage to anything. and no reason why I'm looseing compression.
I put everything back together and took it to my mechanic. He just did a engine drop into an 88 Accord that had the same problem. Loss compression and blow by. But the engine was in shitty shape and 210K mile on it. My car only has 130K on it and still has the original clutch so it must have been driven easily. Mechanic says cracked piston but I checked and there was no visible damage to the pistons. :wtf: The only thing I can think of is new engine. I have no JOB and only $300, so that won't happen. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
