i posted awhile ago bout my lude smoking... and somebody told me to flush out the motor... well i flushed it out and it kinda quit smoking.... but now its doing it pretty bad... it has 175tho on it, yea i know its alot, and there could be alot of things worn out in there... i really dont know what to do! i love this car and NOTHING is messed up or brokin in it ..its in really good condition..but the motor is messed up :mad:! there is no way i could handle a rebuild, nor do i have the funds to support that idea.. i am 15, and work with my dad now and then but it doesnt pay enuf for that..:rolleyes: i could save over the summer and probably have the $$ to do a swap.. but i cant see myself putting that much money in a 15 almost 16 year old car! plus i dont know if i could handle a swap eather!! if anybody has a idea or comment, (or know a place whare i could get a engine for cheap let me know) please help me with this! i was going to start driving it, (cuz i am sick of driving around in my moms minivan,and trust me it sucks) but i have to get it inspected for emisions,and i know with it smoking like it is, it will never pass! please tell me what to do, i am on my own on this one so PLEASE HELP!

more details? where is it smoking from?

the exhost pipe... and it a lite blue smoke...so its burning oil.. sorry for not putting that!

my guess is that the rings are gone. a new set of rings will run you 100-150 plus the main and rod bearings another 300. it can be done.

how do u drive and you are only 15 ????

learners perm.... i get the real thing in oct!!! yay! so about 500... could i do a whole swap for that??????????

nope, unless you find an engine in a junkyard

are you low on coolant? it could also be a blown head gasket and coolant is leaking into your exhaust.

from coolant the smoke should be white not blue. but the head gasket is a possiblity. anyway if he decides to rebuild it he needs to replace the haead gaskets and all other gaskets.

i am thining a swap.. there are about 10 junk yards in a couple miles from my house... so it wont be hard to find something.. but what do i look for? what model honda do i pull it out of? and what block??? i need to know this so i know what to start looking for.. thanks for help and comments!!!

remind me to read a little better next time :)

Well, i am guessing you should take the engine out of the year of your lude or newer.

humm.... yea makes sence :yes:

did you check for what you spark plugs had to say?

u mean like if there was oil on it??? if soo yea a couple did have some oil on it.. the others were just realllly bad... but i changed them and gapped um, and its still doin it..

you can tell a lot from the condition of the plugs..

If you can post a very good pic of each plug, we may be able to help you a little more.

ok cool i will pull them out later, and snap a few picks...
