i dont know where the leak is
its not leaving any puddles anywhere

i think its because i only have 1-4 gears and when i drive on the highway its at a high rpm and burns it there

well i have been having oil issues and its only been a quart low when i go to fill it back up
anyways i started to hear a knockin sound every now and then friday nite
on saturday i showed my dad and he said it sounded like fuel problems
the knockin was only when you pressed the gas
didnt hear it when at idle

well on sunday i was goin to pick up the gf from work and i was goin about 70 and the knockin got louder and then BOOM
white smoke and it died

[jonathan2006]

i found where someone was talkin about using civic gx (natural gas) pistons
they are 12.5:1 but they never did it

 

[jonathan2006]

looks like im gonna be callin wiseco and see how custom ordered ones will be

 

[EMIIspecED]

dezod used to sell wiseco d17 a2 piston heads im surprised they downsized in the last year

 

[jonathan2006]

they do but they are just low comp

 

[jonathan2006]

ok guys im lookin for a civic gx (d17a6 i think) block
it uses 12.5:1 compression

 

[EMIIspecED]

dose that work with the stage 2 cam?

 

[jonathan2006]

yep it should with a good tune

the gx was made to use natural gas
it also has better rods too
