Is this a busted piston ring in my 97 Honda Recon?
I think I have a busted piston ring on my 97 Honda Recon. It blows smoke but runs fine, I just got through changing the oil for the first time in a long time and it started it. I thought it was to much oil but it still does it but i haven't ran it that much. Is it a busted ring?
Get a compression tester, and install in spark plug hole. Disable ignition so it won't start, and crank engine 5 strokes. Good engine compression will be around 150-180 psig. What's yours? A lot lower? Now, remove tester, squirt about 1/4 cup motor oil in. Re-connect tester, and crank engine again. If compression markedly increases, rings are bad. (oil has temporarily sealed rings) If not, you have a bad intake or exhaust valve. Hope this points you in the right direction, Good Luck.
- Busted my front driver floorboard on 2000 Honda Shadow Aero 1100. What all should I buy? I screwed up and tipped the bike. The right floorboard broke clean off. Can I just replace them with pegs, or do I have to buy the floorboards? Can someone give me some advice on where to buy all the pieces I'll need? It broke off close to the board itself. Also, is this something that I can fix on my own with a good wrench, or should I be taking it in somewhere and having them do it?
- I have a 2015 Honda rancher that had a crack in the air box. It got so much dirt through the air filter it got into my piston. So it now Burns oil and I was wonder will it ever stop smoking. I know I have to rebuild the engin so don't even say it. And how long will it take before it losses power.
- How much can I sell a 1999 Honda CRV with a busted engine and 270000 mi for? All other components work, with exception of locking mechanism haven't to be activated manually and a broken radio casing (radio still works).
- Where to purchase a horn ground ring? I got a 93 Honda civic dx sedan. It was in a minor accident where the air bag deployed & the steering wheel has been recently changed. Unfortunately the horn doesn't work. The mechanic who changed the wheel says I need to purchase a ground horn ring in order for the horn to work with the new steering wheel. I'd like to know if that is the correct name of part & if so where can I purchase one because I've searched eBay Amazon and the web itself and came up with nothing
