Hey Guys, I am trying to get everything together so I can finish my turbo build but I have had some oil consumption issues with my Laskey Built engine. The inside of the engine looked like the oil had gotten extemely hot so i had it rebuilt and they claimed I had worn the piston rings flat due to a bad tune. :/ No sure how much I can believe that but I was running the OEM tune.

i have since had the engine rebuilt but am STILL having oil consumption issues. (i changed the oil every 1k miles or sooner over the past 6k miles). This time I DID have it tuned, and just as before followed the break in proceedure to the T. I ran my most recent oil change to roughly 1500 miles and the oil came out blacker than hell, with sludge and what not. I have pictures. I am currently running an oil consumtpion test to see how much oil it uses over a 1000 mile period.

I am not sure but it seems the oil temp is getting much too high just for normal driving. I am currently seeing oil temps of 220-239 just driving around back and forth to work. no vtec. just daily driving. Temps are measured from a sandwhich adaptor @ the oil filter/oem oil cooler. What is the normal expected oil temps? if I am way over what could possibly be causing such high oil temps?

My coolant temps are ranging from 180-210ish as measured from the oem temp port on my FullBlown radiator (outlet of the radiator). Highest coolant temp i have seen is 225 when it was over 110 degrees in stop and go traffic. I have bled the coolant system many times. (I work for Honda and have Honda master techs available)

engine is NOT turbo yet, i am running it NA, I currently have the intercooler installed, but have not finished the turbo built yet. I cant imagine 240 degree oil temps are normal, I can only imagine what they would be on the track n/a much less with a turbo!! I do have a mocal oil/water oil cooler but have not installed it yet.

engine specs:
2006 DBW
10.5 CP pistions
2.0 Benson Sleeved Shortblock
Pauter Rods
oil squirter delete
Asura Baffled oil pan
Full Blown radiator
2.2 cams
supertech valve train

 

I'd say that's very high, I'd only see those sort of temps on track with my SC setup.

 

I wonder if your oil squiter delete could be causing the pistons to get hotter and thus the oil temps rising. I'm not a fan of deleting the oil squiters, Honda put them there for a reason.

 

What is the benefit?

 

I and my friends never had issues with benson sleeved block with piston squirt delete.. odd issue you talk to mike at laskey?

 

Do you have a external oil cooler

i am currently using the oem oil cooler

 

That's just crazy how hot its getting

Any updates GMK?

 

What oil are you running?
Can you check your oil pressure?
Other things to check... thermostate and waterpump... headgasket..
