well, tony tried to retune the car earlier this week and its still be ing gay. the car is breaking up around 5k. its throwing a vtec pressure solenoid code. i already replaced the spool solenoid, now i need the other portion. its also smoking, burns oil. i checked the compression twice. once ity was 150 on all four with a busted ass tester, then i got a new one and it was a lil over 190 on everycylinder....so, i though maybe the turbo or valve stem seals. i pulled the exhaust mani off today, and on the exhaust manifold gasket there is oil. there is a leak on the side of my block where the tranny bolts to the engine. it looks liek oil is coming out of the side of the head. i think the oil is possibly leaking from that and running down to the exhaust mani. i wanna pull the head over the weekend and see whaere the oil is coming from.
some guy on honda-tech had a thread showing some sort of rubber o-ring on the side of the head for vtec heads. he said this is usually busted and thats where the oi lis coming from. who knows, ive looked at some pics from majestic honda and there looks like there is an oring, but i cant see it havign this big of an effect.. ill try and get pics later after work
