This is a 3 part video explaining the steps in determining the psi or compression of your cylinders with a basic compression tester. This may or may not apply to vehicles with more than 4 cylinders. Be sure to check out all 3 vids...most of all; i hope this helps you do your own compression test on your vehicle. Thanks for watching.

which scanner did  u use to get the correct code instead of the generic code?

[big2000dave]

@S0Wicked It is an Acrton CP9150 scanner.

This looks like a classic case of a timing belt snap!

[big2000dave]

@egn83b  Not a timing belt issue. Compression test and leakdown tests confirmed it was a burnt valve in cylinder 1. Had to get rid of the car. =(

[Masowai]

@big2000dave Dave...in part 3 you say that it is a bad piston/ring. You poured oil into the cylinder and the compression increased. Why are you saying in this video its a burnt valve? I'm confused. Which is it?

[big2000dave]

@Masowai Well, i had done several different tests and by that time, had taken the car to different mechanics to verify what i believed i found. It turned out to be a burnt valve that was the issue; however, bad rings or warped pistons could have also caused the massive oil consumption i was getting. I believe i had both valve and piston issues.

i would NEVER junk a F23 Engine u can get a rebuilt head for less than 300$

[egn83b]

@big2000dave How come you didn't choose to get a new head?

I have the same model only I don't have vtec on mine. Anyhow best of luck on your new car whatever you choose.

[egn83b]

@distortia47 Yea it could if you snap or jump a few tooth in that engine your valves will get bent. Some people think hey lets fix this after the belt snaps and discover you have a bent valve. The symptoms could be a bad ring but bent valves are more common in this engine. This guy for all I know could have ran the engine dry on oil and scored the walls of the cylinder.

[distortia47]

@egn83b thats def not the timing belt

[NiGhtKids1982]

because my car is blow engine down the rod crunking oil out...l.lthats bad fast too honda civic si 2000 at b16a2 motors
