Water in OIL

Your PCV valve might be worn. Change that as it is cheap and simple.

Do a leakdown test to confirm 100% that the headgasket has failed before you change it.

a common thing on pretty much all hondas is the PCV - its in the book to change /test it every 40k but ive never seen anyone replace it. A working/new one prevents excess oil consumption by stopping oil vapour blowby into the inlet manifold

Exactly. Making sure you have a properly working PCV system is always overlooked by people.

or just get a new car :)

PCV < new car.

Oh and your new car will eventually have the same problem.

lol then buy another new car after

Stop posting rubbish up when people are asking for help. I'll have to delete them if you keep doing it. ;)

I agree the PCV system would have nominal water getting into the system to make you have water in you sump. Any nominal water would be evaporated and released thru the PCV system, not enough to collect in the sump. The only way i see you getting water in your sump is a leak in head gasket leaking coolant to the oil. As you noted that you are burning coolant than it would tend to suggest that you have a headgasket leak. But since you got it pressure tested i'm alittle confused.

Read his first post.

I did, it says he was wondering where he might get water from. If you look at post #12 he says he's had a compression test also and that has been fine. THat's why i'm confused where its coming from

I think it's more from the PCV intake.

U dont have to lots lose coolant for problems. My boss recently hydra locked his car.. he went 4wdriving without a snorkel and filled the motor with water.

next day i had a look @ it.. almost no water in the oil. and thats with the engine FULL of water, unlike urs which wouldnt have had much water in the intake if any at all.

u might be losing coolant and u just dont know it ;) dont forget the rad will draw water from the resivoir if it gets too low ( it creates a vacuum inside the radiator which then causes the radiator cap to open allowing water to enter via resivoir)

Perhaps i have read this wrong,but when you hydraulic an engine,the chambers are full of liquid that cannot be compressed,not the crankcase.
There will be SOME water in the sump,but only cause it has proberbly bent a rod or broken rings.

Maybe something constructive like pressure testing the cooling system,leakdown test for starters would be better.

Sure am glad i build my engines myself.
