Hey folks, looking for suggestions. I have a 2004 accord V6 6MT, around 130k miles. The engine has been consuming oil for some time, and it recently popped the cylinder misfire codes for every cylinder. I assumed that my cats were getting clogged with all the oil it consumes and recent O2 sensor's that I've replaced, but I finally pulled the plugs and did a compression test. Here are the results.
Cylinder 1: 158
Cylinder 2: 180
Cylinder 3: 175
Cylinder 4: 146
Cylinder 5: 65, 75 Wet
Cylinder 6: 173
The plugs were not very tight on 4-6. There was a good bit of oil on the 5th cylinder coil pack, and the plugs were fairly dirty on 4, 5,& 6 cylinders. The first 3 looked pretty good. I ran the wet compression test on the low 5th cylinder and the compression went up a little. What should I do next? Hope it's a bad intake valve? Should I pull the head and look around at the valves. With 130k miles is this the time I should go looking for the J35 swap?
I posted this on another forum too, but more activity here. Thanks for the help.
Thanks,
Joe
