Got 1.75 quarts of oil out yesterday.

No, I didn't get a sample.

 

holy crap Kev

 

So what's next?

 

The car is still drivable. It took almost 4k miles to bring 4.5 quarts to 1.75 quarts. Why don't I check my oil you ask (ok, maybe you didn't)? That's because my dipstick is stuck and I don't want to break it by tugging with all my might.

Next is a built motor, but I still have time. I'll probably go with a stock motor if the built motor is not complete.

When did it actually blow?

 

Sounds familar. When the tick becomeing KNOCKING followed by a massive loss of power, you had better get home ASAP

 

Before dyno... after dyno... on dyno... not sure. But I know the car was running lean because the Walbro pump wasn't working correctly.

Spark plugs had 0 gap

Cylinder #6 isn't holding compression very well. I think the ring is screwed, but haven't had time to verify.

Kev, Im not in the same boat but Im tearing apart my kit and re-doing alot of it. Been down for 3weeks. Getting there.

Man built motor, envy you, but I may be going that route soon, im going to push this engine to its limit and wait till i blow it for a built engine.

Dixit

 

I'm somewhat "waiting" for my motor to go too since I drive like such an arsehole.. what are you going to do with it exactly?

There were two built DE-K engines at a local dealer here supposedly pushing about 300hp... not sure if they still got 'em, but they were looking for about 3k for each.

 

what's this built motor your talking about have in it.

 

Something is not right about your engine! I have a 99 SE 5 speed. For the whole 2002 I have only changed oil once (using Nissan filter and AMsoil 5W30), having driven over 20,000 km (> 13000 miles). Through out that whole period, I only have to top up the oil level (between H and L on the dip-stick) every 6-8 weeks with about 250 mL each time.

For comparison, you lost 2 3/4 quarts after 6400 km?? BTW, one of my colleague drives a 97 Prelude and he told me the engine consumes ~ 1 litre of oil every 2000 km.
