Before I tighten everything back up…should my civic motor look like this?
When I did the TB install on my teg it had 95k and the inside was very clean very check it out
ive had the car about 20,000miles and ive done oil changes every 3-4k.
it currently has 150k on her.
but i smell a “burnt” smell. cant tell if its coming form the oil or the valve cover gasket. that smells too.
anything i can/should do.
or
just put it back together
thanks
Throw some motor flush in that .That looks like burnt oil sludge coated on your head, this happened in my mx6 after it over heated only ten times worse.After a few motor flushes it was better
My d series looks just like that… Runs great.
motor flush?
how to do and where to buy?
just clean it with sandpaper.
edit: ^^this is a joke, don’t do that.
DUDE-why didnt you add that edit soon…NOW HOW AM I GOING TO CLEAN THE SHAVINGS OUT!
haha…yeaaaa that would be bad huh
you can buy motor flush at any auto parts store (advance, auto zone, pep boys etc). You buy it , turn the car on and pour it into the motor and let it run for 5 mins then turn it off and change the oil.Youll be amazed how much sludge and old oil comes out lol
try to sell it to one of the street elements kids, tell them it’s gold…

lol
you could steam clean.
(while it is running)open the TB a tad and pour little amounts of water at a time in and ull steam clean ur motor. couple times should clean that burnt sludge out. dont go crazy with the water u can lock it. lol.
or go buy the motor flsuh.
so you just poor motor flush in where the oil goes right…not to hard.
now if it says pour 1 qt or motor flush and my motor takes 4 qts of oil…does this mean only first put 3 qts of oil and 1 qt of MF taking into consideration the difference of the two…or same amount of oil as normal and just poor the MF, stop being difficult stupid just do it…
which one^
just add it in with your normal oil ( 4 qts) let it run for 5 mins then shut it off and change the oil. There will be directions on the bottle or can of motor flush.
motor flush, and then run some water through the tb like solo said (or sea foam). your shit will be all sorts of clean and shiny. i like to run gumout regane through the fuel system once or twice a year too. T.O.O. from endyn always swore by it.
Leave it alone. It will run fine. Messing with it will chance doing more damage then good.
its normal. leave it
Agreed ^ and ^^
some say to leave it some say dont.
can try to clean it, possibly due damage?

Yes and no. They are not supposed to hurt the engine but anything other than oil in your engine can cause damage over time.
