car is a 2002 civic 1.7 vtec. doesnt blow any oil/smoke and doesnt overheat. oil is in the anitfreeze but not the other way around. honda forums show some blocks have pores from bad castings and develope hairline cracks in the oil filter passage into the coolant system. any you honda guys fimilar with this problem? thanks. also if thats the case ill have a 1.7 vtec taking up space it runs great but just has this problem.

I honestly haven’t heard of this problem yet. I would say that the headgasket was bad, but that would most likly cause it to some a bit. So it could have a crack somewhere.

“walk” him? obviously if you are racing to put a car together (what this statement implies) then you have already failed as a mechanic before you even started.
please do not talk shit until you no longer own a w body. kthnxbye.

Cracked sleeve is my guess. 1.7l d17 is the worst engine honda ever made.
