So i got a 90' Civic HB Si.. im burnin like a quart of oil a week and i was told it could be the headgasket.. but im not looseing any coolant.. could it still be my headgasket or is it my piston rings???

 

Dude that sucks, its prolly because its a Honda with a lot of miles on it, a quart a week isnt that bad for a honda, Heres what u do, work really hard and save up your money, and buy an AMERICAN car instead of a dirty jap car!, thatll fix the problem

 

It's a not a headgaskets. Bad headgaskets make cars burn coolant, not oil.

You've got bad piston rings. Cars will burn oil because the valve guides are worn or because they need new rings. Since you're burning so much, that tells me that it's burning it pretty much constantly as you drive. That's what happens when rings get worn. When valve guides are worn, you get a little puff of smoke when taking off from a stop, or when shifting.

 

yea, so james4.0litre.. my car only got 129k miles on it, i my jap car will outlive your american one by a long shott

 

thats hilarious arkhos99 well, ive got a 85 ranger v6 4x4, muddin truck with 330k miles on it an aerostar 91 minivan with 220k miles on it a town car w/150k miles on it and no major problems, haha your hilarious im sure it will outlast, outperform my awesome Mustang

 

shouldnt this thread be called burning rice?

 

best to get a replacement engine, see if you have a salvage yard near your location, go to ebay and look up price to compare. unless you are going to beef up your engine, cheapest is to replace it.

 

yea i just boughta 2006 honda civic.. so now im sellin the 90 civic hb..

 

your mustang might look pretty but my little 4cyl honda would leave you in the dust!!!!

 

thats likely EF honda, what do u have? cause u need a miracle, wake up dude
