Hi..need some suggestions..my 97 honda crv was smoking quite a bit after the head was swapped out...many persons suggested that the valve seals needed to be changed and the smoking will stop..carried it to a "mechanic" to have them change only to hear that cam shaft seal/valve needs to be replaced and some sort of cover seal needed to be replaced as well can't remember at this point. Now upon getting back the vehicle the check engine light is on..the oil light comes on as well now and then, but the dip stick is reading that it has in enough oil and very frighteningly the vehicle seems to be back in a state of how it was before the head was swapped, in that the vehicle when in drive idled right down to nearly 1 and eventually shut off when I came to a stop. There also seems to be just a little bit of oil in the radiator...any suggestions because I really don't want to carry it back to the same person...thanks

 

when the oil light comes on it means theres no oil pressure not necessarily no oil and should be turned off immediately to prevent serious engine damage.
