Well, I didn't have much time tonight to tinker with the Civic due to my Sunfire blowing a brake line on the way home. But, I did get a few things done.
First off, its blowing the water out of the exhaust. I put my hand over the tail pipe and had droplets on my hand shortly. This makes me a little leery of worn piston rings. I'm now thinking an oil analysis might be a good thing.
Second, I did the compression test for the heck of it. It actually looks pretty good with 190, 180, 180, 193.
Also, I did notice some oil on the head and block. I'm not sure where its coming from. I'd guess leaky valve cover gasket.
Other than that... WOW, this car is sooooooo rust free. I have never seen a car this old with this little rust... I haven't actually SEEN any rust on it yet (still haven't gone under it). Its a little crazy to me. Lucky Texans... Though, it does have noticeable sun damage.
