can that even be fixed/cleaned?
incar, not to optimistic, but with the head removed they can acid clean the head, comes up good as new, but I hate to think what the bottom end oil gailries are like.
nasty.. but there is hope.. if u continue to regulary change oils and filters?
ewwww....that looks like something from a horror movie!!!!.....aye....i'ma gonna have nightmares now!
Mmmmmm....looks like that rare Honda oil - rated at about 35w/70w viscoscity *lol*

did an engine flush and oil/filter change this morning, she runs abit better and oil light no longer comes on. ( few )
man that sends shivers down my spine
so how can u clean it if it happened to us? does Honda do that?
question: how many km's did the car run since its last oil change!!
Stealth, since this thing came to me for a h2o pump, I dint want to disturbe the mess, but you can scrape that ugly stuff out by hand then use an engine flush aditive in the oil and fulsh the system, drain oil and change filter and oil.
I used this Stuff called megapower www.megapower.com this stuff is great.
joyride the car had done 180k last service was due 150 according to the sticker. I had never seen this car before so Im not sure on its true history.
wow.. i just took off my rocker cover the other day.. omg.. was soooo clean.. all u see is clean oil.. yay!! happy as can be *waves*
Ken
if a H22A hasnt been oil changed for 20K's.....would you say it would be beginning to become like this? i mean, is 20K's bad :confused:
doubt it will look that bad if 20k no service, look down the oil filler hole, u should be able to see it.
yeah 20 would be sort of pushing it but wouldnt be causing vegimite build up unless it had missed another 20k servive prior.
also oil quality has alot to do with this. crap oil and 20k wont be good
hahha that looks just like the insides of my sisters camry engine!!! :D
well the car has only done 56K...
servicings were: 5,10,15,25,35 upto 56K....
not sure if i should buy it or not...would an RAC guy be good enough to check it out for me? or is there anyway someone experienced can?
because i can get someone who works at Honda servicings to check it out for me..
Just because the top of the head looks clean.....it doesn't mean the rest of the engine is in good nick :)Quote:

Another story my neighbour did 80k on a brand new engine and it finally gave way :P.
As for that guy with the H22A change that shit! I feel bad if I go 1k over 5k services with mine, anything with any performance In mind deserves 5k changes, Id feel bad even not changing my mums getz after 10-15k lol.
yes this can be fixed still, but very labour intense.Quote:

heres a VE commonwhore i did today NOTE!! the more u disturb the sludge the higher your chance of blocking the pick up if this happens fill the engine up with injector cleaner via the dipstick tube and let it sit over night to make the sludge disolve http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...69770961_n.jpg
