I drained my oil and the oil seemed like it had water (coolant) in the oil. Is it possible other than a cracked head or block for water to get in the oil. Like if the head gasket went bad some how. One more question i think my third cylinder is not working properly. I pulled the spark plug and the car doesn't even change in idle it has a constant noise. teh rest of the cylinder would drop in idle and soound like its going to die. Do i have a bent valve or what can cause this. Any help please.

 

sometimes pulling a plug wire wont change it........ my h22 did that, all would make the idle change but one. nuthing was wrong. as for water in the oil, that usually indicates a blown head gasket. you should do a compression and leak down test to get more conclusive results

 

well i was going to do a compression test but i already took the head off. Im waiting for the new head gasket to come in. Does anyone know if the cr-v head gasket will fit the b18b1 head? Mines been honed to 2.0 and the b18 is a little small. Hope this will solve my high pressure in the radiator and the oil problem.

 

the b20 gasket should be fine. Your bored to 84mm???

 

Did you drain the oil after pulling off the head?

 

it was before i pulled the head. I changed my oil before that already and it had some water in it just a little. and when i came back from my trip (about 1000miles) i decided i would change tyhe head gasket to see if it solved my high pressure in the radiator and over heating i was getting. So, i decided to drain the oil first and this time the oil was like a watery brown color like mud.

 

yup, head gasket, cracked block, are usually the problems.
