    Hello. Lately, I have noticed a small oil leak originating from the rear driver's side of my H22A4 engine. At first, the leak was small but enough for alarm. I only decided to investigate further after an entire quart had leaked out during one short drive. After tearing off the timing cover to...

    Hello, after a few weeks and a trip or two to the dealer, I've determined I'm no good at diagnosing an oil leak. I resealed my oil pan gasket and inspected my oil filter adapter o-ring and I still can't figure out why all my oil is leaking out. If I let the car sit for a day or two, I'll come...

    So over the last few months I replaced my clutch and while doing so I noticed oil all over the bottom of my car and the dipstick was dry so I filled her up with oil (or so I thought) and I ordered RTV to reseal the oil pan gasket, I resealed it. I did an oil change with a new filter and drove it...

    *I am new to the car scene, I have no idea what im looking at or what to do. I do understand that I could just go to a mechanic (I already have a scheduled appointment with one), but I just dont want my car to come out the other side and have no idea what is happening. I am wiling to learn how...

    I know its not a great question, but im a civic fanboy. What are the main differences between the sh 5th gen and the base model? Especially with having to do with the oil pressure switch? 98 h22a4

    Hey everyone. I bought this '99 prelude base auto a little over a month ago. The previous owner expressed there was a rough start occasionally and that his mechanic said it was likely the primary O2. No service/cel lights on though, not since I bought it. He gave me a list of odds and ends that...

    I've had this thing for a few weeks now. It's a 2010 C350 Sport. Unfortunately it was time for something more reliable and in better condition. Last October the balance shaft seal blew out on my Prelude at highway speed. It emptied all the oil within seconds and destroyed my cylinder...

    Hey guys, recently in the last two weeks my car has been losing about two quarts of oil a week. The underside by the transmission is pretty well coated with oil but you can't see anything visibly through the engine bay. Did a compression test today and the results were: Cylinder 1 - 180 Cylinder...

    My car started running pretty rich about a few weeks ago. I commute to and from school and work with an average of around 50 miles a day, and a full tank would last me from Sunday til Friday without even red-lining. So about 300 miles a tank, mostly city. Now I get barely 200 miles a tank :/...

    So i bought my prelude two years ago, stock, automatic, with the H22a4 and swapped it out for a H23a VTEC Bluetop, and converted it to manual. It has been nothing but one problem after another with it. I now have a problem that has got me puzzled. So I ran my lude pretty hard about two weeks ago...

    I need to change my system from r12 to r134a freon. How do I drain the old compressor oil and how do I know how much of the new oil would need to put be in? Would I need to change any hoses and/or o-rings even if it is not leaking? Also, I read that the original compressor may not be...

    Hey guys so im replacing the head gasket on a 1992 Toyota Camry LE V6, and im wondering weather or not to get an oil flush done when its all back together. When the head gasket blew, there was TONS of white smoke. not just a small leak. When i removed the old HG, it was completely shredded...

    So It's winter here in Alberta, and it hasn't been too cold, but one day I took the car out for some fun, and I had been running it for about 5 minutes without opening up on it (so I'd say it wasn't hot yet, but not cold). I finally started givin' er' and I hit the engine cut off at 6500, and...
