ok guys whats up this is my compression

70, 120, 120, 120

I figure a blown oil ring or something I figure it was because I was driving it while it was overheating....
also my #4 injector was leaking very very bad and flooded the entire cylinder, so I heard that the fuel mixed with the oil and thinned it out since its thin enough to go through the rings...

Well I know I messed up somewhere but I can't exactly point out where, heres the question:

Do you guys think it messed up when it overheated, or because of the bad fuel leak???


Also I bought a new JDM 9.5:1 engine for 300 and am going to run the same BB bolt on setup, what can I do to make sure I don't do the same mistake, I already bought another fan and am looking for water wetter, also I don't want power steering did our cars only come with power steering or is there another belt part number if you have it can I have it.

Thanks


SETUP right now:
JWT ECU
370cc injectors
BB Manifold with T25

also what should oil pressure be at idle??

If you can answer any of my questions I would really appreciate it..Thanks you have all been great so far :rolleyes:

Better radiator... be a good idea to get a pulley set that replaces the water pump pulley, in addition to the fan and water wetter

thanks for your help but what kind of radiator should I get???

I actually have one from a B14 since my B13(stock) one was old, it didn't have any problems but the fins were all messed up..

Oil coolers also help out with cooling an engine, it might be a good idea to go with one.

I had an upgraded radiator,b&m oil cooler,moroso 5.5 quart baffled oil pan, and water wetter in my crx. Temp never went above 1/4.

Does any company make an upgraded oil pan for the sr20de engines?
