Updated - Honda Accord 1999 has very low compression in all cylinders. I'm trying to figure out the problem
Compression is as follows:
c1 dry- 20 wet 45
c2 dry 40 wet 40
c3 dry - 30 wet 30
c4 dry - 60 wet 60
cooling system held pressure 11 lb psi 20 plus minutes so no crack head, head gasket issue etc.
the car was accidentally ran without any oil (no oil light on). Car overheated when a hose exploded and coolant leaked out. Temp was red hot, i pull over immediately to cool engine. What coolant was left in the car looked normal. I did not check the oil. Next day drove the car up a tow truck ramp; it started just fine with no odd sounds, etc - ran was ran for 10 sec maybe. When i checked the car at home it had no oil, not one drop came out during the oil change. The car would not start/stalled. It turned over and almost started once. The pistons smoothly move and push forcefully, but the car low compression.
Did driving up the ramp for 10 seconds without blow my engine or is it normal for a car to start once and not again after severely over heating?
Already adequately answered yesterday. Reported for asking the same question over and over and over. FAIL.
I doubt that 10 seconds did it, but if you ran around without oil for any length of time the cylinders could be scored. A cylinder leak down test would tell you. It looks like it could be jumped valve timing though. The timing belt may be gone.
The car got so hot your rings have lost tension
This question was answered. The engine is toast.
- I'm currently working on a Honda crf70f that had some lines cut and now I have to figure out where they came from I'm new to small engines and all that so I have no Idea where this one line goes. It comes from the carb but there's no where for it to go, I have a picture of it.
- 1972 HONDA MOTORCYCLE COMPRESSION PROBLEM? I'm looking to buy a 1972 Honda CL350 and it has low compression…60psi in the left and none in the right. The guy I'm purchasing from said he was in the process of a rebuild and replaced the piston rings and seals. He said he purchased it running but it has not run in about 2-3 years. What could be causing the low compression? I realize it could be multiple things but what would be a ballpark figure be $$$-wise to fix?
- My 2001 Honda Civic is overheating and I can't figure out why? I have replaced the radiator cap, coolant reservoir, and thermostat. Also, I check the fans at various times and everytime they are running fine. Lastly, I'm not sure if this information helps, but I live in southern Louisiana where it is almost always hot. I'm a poor 25 year old female college student and I have no idea what else to do.
- I have a 99 honda civic si I did a compression test and suspect it has low compression because of misfire? So the first one came out as.180. Second one 180… Third piston 160… And the last final piston as…180 are my pistons good? Don't mean to sound like a rookie.
