Well after two days of soaking in Marvel Mystery Oil I can say there is less smoke under hard throttle but it is still there. I will try this...
You need that gauge for paranoia fuel though!
Can't believe I did this... I go to put some more cleaner in the cylinder one last time before I call it quits only to watch it all drain out the...
I have to keep riding it as it is my only form of transportation so I will keep it gentle and top the oil up regularly. As for contamination...
Would it be wise for me to disconnect the spark plug and injector for the damaged cylinder since I need to keep riding it?
Check out my other thread: http://vfrworld.com/forums/mechanics-garage/43432-stuck-damaged-piston-rings-valve-seals-6th-gen.html I have never...
Update, engine is blown and was likely blown the day it rolled off the showroom floor.
Funny story, I was just reading a thread on VFRdiscussion started by someone named mohawk with a suspiciously blue vfr in their avatar. He was...
I would very much prefer to keep the motor but it is not economically sound. A motor swap is $400 in labor max(which I could do myself)+900 for a...
less than 60psi in piston #4, all other pistons were above 180. It's fucked. Time to source a low mileage motor and swap it out. Oh forgot to...
One last video before I go meet with the honda dealer. Cold start, no smoke appeared until about 125f on the gauge so probably not vtec related....
Fixed the dead video.
Decided to upload a video of a full ride just so people can see what my bike is acting like under normal and hard running. Most of the time I...
The reason the front tire is more difficult to wear to the edges is profile. A 180/55 rear is very easy to get to the edge due to it being far...
New info, if the bike isn't above 150f there is very little smoke, if any, and certainly no more than I would consider normal, but if it is above...
The blowby video was taken after an hour ride so it was warmed completely. Have not had a compression test done yet, no tool for it and don't...
I bought a 2004 VFR800 with 2376 miles from the 2nd owner. He had bought it from a dealer in 2012 and it had sat on that dealer lot for an...
INitially this is how my bike behaved but that ceased after I changed the oil and now it just burns oil :/
I agree, but it is still not something I want happening right?
After further testing it is definitely related to vtec engagement as I can rev all day below 6.8k but as soon as I break that I get a puff of smoke.
