since your rebuilding why not drop a b20 bottom end in? haha

dont drop a type r engine in,
Also wanna know approxx price for b18 rebult
if your compression testing is showing good compression, which it is, then the smoke being blown out at the top end could just be the richnessed dialled in by Honda to protect your motor at high RPM...
i say go out, enjoy the car the way its meant too... when it goes pop, THEN consider fixing the issue... and, im of the opinion that if you rebuild your motor the benefits are
1) You know the motor, and what you will do to it, so you have control
2) You will maintain the same numbers the car came out of the factory with
3) you can potentially, based on budget, build the motor how you want it to be... there is no reason why your build cannot meet and exceed the output of a "B18CR"...
Buying a motor out of the DC2 Type R will cost up to 5k... imagine how much work you can do to a motor for that much dosh
I agree with Zilli on this one..... if you do decide to change the motor rebuild isn't such a bad idea...you can get better output than a stock type r motor with a similar price ;)
his on the ball.. imo.. get a b20 bottom end for like 600 and build on thatQuote:

because i luv to also guys what brand of oil should i use? Because motul 10w40 wud be gone
in 1 week of vtec lol what about 15w-40? And what do you guys think i shpuld bd putting
besides the thick ass oil im using now 15w-60
** by the way guys do you know how the dip stick there are two small dots is it sorta low if its just above the 2nd dot but i only check the dip stick wen the engine is cooled down after 30 mins or wen its cold and cold wen wud be a gwd time to check the dip stick in you opinionz
check dipstick first thing in the morning when the engine is cold. if the oil is only just above the lower dot, i would suggest topping it up a bit.
stick to using 10w40 but try a different brand of oil. i found my dc4 would eat thru castrol magnatec like nothing, but after swapping to Nulon gold (its in a gold bottle) i use barely any.
If your eating through all your all in a week...might be something wrong with your motor....My first rebuild did that...there was a problem with it.Quote:
