So i got this car a couple weeks ago and finally got around to Check the compression.. To say the very least i would rather walk than drive my car any longer... Cylinder 1 is around 175... Cylinder 2 is looking around 180...Cylinder 3's spark plug has burnt oil around the tip and has a compression of 90..and cylinder 4 is running 210.. Now the compression checker we had was pretty old and chunty but im 100% sure my engine is completely done and my money saved up to buy new coils and intake is done for...How much am i looking to pay for this fix and what couldve caused it?? Im pretty sure this S2k was turboed like a mofo at one point in its life..< also i changed my oil about 2 weeks ago and checked it today to find i have close to none.. And when i popped myhood to start the check i saw my Dip stick popped out a little and oil spurted on my valve cover and overmy injectors.. Im pretty mad at the moment..

 

A new engine is in your future.

 

You think a whole new head?? or entire engine..

 

Can find a used complete engine for about $2500 or so with not too many miles. That would be your best bet.

 

Idk man my budget isnt that big?? you dont think it could be bad piston rings??? Thats most likely why the oil is in there.. idk man my head is spinning im freaking out..

 

Most likely have scored cylinder walls if rings are shot as well I would think. Which would need a full rebuild. Rebuild will run you as much as buying a used engine. Sorry to hear though. Really sucks!!

 

I f@#king hope to god its not to bad.. Sorry for my language but im not in the best of moods

 

I'm sure others will chime in. Any sounds from the engine? CEL's? How does it run? Coolant and oil mixed at all?

 

When i bought it the injectors made a ticking sounds but i hear thats pretty common.. The CEL came on a couple days ago after i drove about an hour ago and let the car sit for an hour or two and when i turned it back on it came on.. It runs fine.. I don't feel like its any slower or anything of that matter doesn't lug around feels like it pulls like it should in vtec and all that good stuff.. I mean i couldve bought it like that and been driving around on a shitty cylinder for weeks now..

 

What was the CEL for?
