I have a compression tester........ ;D

between the OP and cooljnateman, i'm convinced you hang out with certifiable real life retards.

as opposed to the fake life ones?

no, as opposed to people that are just dumb. a clinical certification is much worse.

Make it hard.

Remove rad hose, drain coolant, pour, set. Just make sure you cut you water pump vanes off. No coolant to leak = no coolant leak.

Is the coolant in all your intakes ports on your head? Or just the #4 cyl? (thats the one thats farthest away from the drives side of the car)

manly above #4 in the head but then again some of the intake valves were open so dont know if they were holdin anythin

compression test was perfect ...leak down test will get done friday

thanks to harbor freight tools i picked up a cylinder leak tester and 4.5 angle grinder for $40

i tried the HF leakdown tester and it was a POS. i know you get what you pay for, but they shouldnt be able to sell something that just flat out doesnt work. luckily i borrowed it cause i let someone borrow my mac leakdown tester.

the HF angle grinder is quite badass for the price though. i use the hell out of mine

How bad are the piston rings?

Just replace the headgasket.

If the rings are bad you'll burn a bit of oil but still drive, who cares.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #42 on:** December 04, 2009, 11:00:20 PM »

Seems like a silly reason to sell a car

I have low mileage jdm d15 vtec shortblocks. Throw on the freshly milled head and you have a motor that will own that y eries shortblock. They are 175+shipping

I agree its a silly thing to do unless you plan on never doing the honda thing again.

Towdogg · « **Reply #44 on:** December 04, 2009, 11:20:23 PM »

Sell it... save the turbo parts..... get another civic with out a BIG dent in the the side....

Jorsher · « **Reply #45 on:** December 05, 2009, 12:41:23 AM »

That's a bigass dent.

What would my cost be shipped to 41011?

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #49 on:** December 06, 2009, 10:56:30 PM »

That is rather interesting. I wouldn't mind having another d15b block. My last one was almost bulletproof. It was 8k+ rpm quite a few times and 15 psi quite a few times. A leaky turbo feed line was what finally killed it.

drivin96 · « **Reply #50 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:35:13 AM »
