standing oil in cylinders! help!

[teggin92]

Ive run into an issue! i have a 92 integra with a bone stock b18 non vtech. cylinder 2 wasnt firing, just replaced plugs and checked wires, sparks fine. untill about a week ago. pulled the plugs and these things are COVERD in oil. looked into the cylinder and there was sitting oil on three of the cylinders. asked around some said piston rings, need to do a compression test, some said valve guides and or seals. others said head gasket. scared to run this thing anymore id hate to hydrolock it. before i get balls deep in this thing, id like some outside views from anyone else. any suggestions?? thank you all for taking the time to reply!

did you do a compression test? you should have to see if your rings are good...

 

[teggin92]

i havent yet. but if there is oil in the cylinder im testing wouldnt that up the compression regardless?

suck it out with something.

Its the spark plug tube seals. Thats the ONLY way oil can enter the spark plug tubes above the spark plug. Its a simple seal, one on each spark plug tube. Replace it, problem fixed.

This requires removing the valve cover, so I suggest getting a valve cover gasket kit (should come with VC gasket, and 4 tube seals)

Edit: If you pulled the spark plugs out, there is going to be oil on the cylinders because where else is it going to drain?

it could be the rings too though i think, the oil control ring...wait never mind sorry jason im sleepy its the tube seals. rings would be bad if its on the piston

 

[teggin92]

ah! see someone told me that as well. so i bought a valve cover seal kit with the tube seals. so that has already been replaced.

take out the plugs and the spark plugs and shoot out the oil

If oil gets past that ring, its going to burn up n the combustion chamber, and you would have quite a bit of blue smoke. It would be rather difficult to push past the rings, to the top of the combustion chamber, and past the spar plugs to get in there.

okaayy soooo... remove the head?

 

[Samurai_Blue]

no.....just crank over the car without the plugs in and it should shoot out or use a paper towel

 

[teggin92]

anyone know the compression psi im supose to get? i have haynes repair manual.... = poop

 

[mirrorimg]

Non-VTEC should be like... 160 to 190, max deviation of 10 or 15 psi. You dont need to do a compression test though. You just need to replace what I told you, your plugs, and get the oil out of the plug wires.
