get a mechanic to check your compression on all four cylinders, this will show you if you have an internals problem...

Black Smoke = Fuel
White/Grey smoke = Oil

i checked my oil today and it has risen to just above half!!!!

maybe because i havnt used it in 2 days.

**tinkerbell** · 31-03-2005 06:45 PM

or you measured it straight after turning off the engine, lol!

the oil has all drained to the sump!

start it, run for a few minutes, shut off, then see how much oil is REALLY there?!?

the problem is the piston rings have worn because of the same reason why every other DOHC VTEC piston rings have worn and then smoke when are being reved at high rpm's, because GENUINE HONDA OIL is not used from when the car is new, if honda oil is used from new and changed with the oil filter every 5000kms or if the car is driven hard to be changed every 3000kms (the sooner the better) than this problem will not happen till around 600000kms.

Guys , please use proper sentence structure , paragraphs and even full stops for the sake of our eyes + sanity !

**tinkerbell** · 31-03-2005 09:20 PM

and DONT make broad generalised statements without providing any info to prove/substantiate your claims!!!

HONDATEC - could you please explain how piston rings wear prematurely due to the oil?

Man I feel sorry for your car. A DC2R shouldn't be thrashed like that. My advice is to take it to a reputable mechanic, and get a full inspection.

DC2 is a very very good car, but B18C is slut, every time you have to F##K, oh sorry, you have to drive it hard, then the motor will be happy. All B18C drinks oil, mine drinks a lot when I took the car to the track, I think is normal, just keep an eye on the oil stick.
