DC5 Advice

[dcloo]

Thats the problem with high performance pads, their operating tempretures are high, hence on cold mornings of under very normal day-to-day road conditions, they don't work as well... theres always a compromise with mods...

Just upgrade to hydraulic hand brake will solve all the problem even can FF drift

well, engine oil can leak at many different places.

apparently, according to honda malaysia, the "Valve Head Cover Seal" is a common culprit, and Honda has ready made repair kits for that, it's around RM200.

also, another possible cause is the oil pan, you might want to check your drain nut area.

however, piston rings may also cause "coking" or "cooking", which burns off engine oil, and loss of compression, so it might be worth doing a compression test to check whether this is the issue.

if the car milege is low, then it might not be the piston rings, so a complete overhaul may not be necessary, as it is both expensive and time consuming.

well .....it's a bit like sex ........ where's you insert something long and skinny into a dark dark hole

ask an experienced workshop ........... they should be able to do it.

thanx vagabond...i already do the compression test and the here the reading of of it : 210psi, 205psi,210psi,210psi... is it normal??

 

[Vagabond]

yup ..... i think it's well within the regular tolerance levels.

so now , with the process of elimination, you can dismiss the piston rings as the culprit of the engine oil leak.

look at the next likely suspect: valve head cover seal.
get a torch and inspect the valve head cover, and where it connects to the cylinder head. there should be a bit of cement in between those two parts. see if there are any engine oil leaks there, dried or otherwise.

also , the next time you jack up the car, look at the undercarriage. you can check the oil pan for scrapes, in case of poor clearance issues..... and also the oil filter to see if any leaks there.

does anyone have a similar problem.... my 2nd gear is quite hard to engage especially after the car warms up.

its not very often, but once in a while i'll have to use abit of strength to push it into 2nd....and the hand feel is like the gear is cruching.

any ideas?
