could be your dust shield or some of your bushings are going out. but that would mean there is some play in your suspension. how does your axles look?

replaced the axles, so they're in good condition.. Outer tie rod ends have been replaced on both sides, Bushings are in good shape, and dush shield is tightly secured.. Thinking it might be my hubs.. I got new wheel bearings a year ago, ever since then i hear this clank on certain bumps.. Its funny because if i press on the brakes the noise ill stop.. new brake hardware has been installed, and the dang noise is still there..

If it only makes sounds on bumps have you double checked to make sure your upper shock mounts and upper control arms are torqued to spec? I know it sounds stupid, but when these things are just a little loose it gets really annoying over bumps.

Just lowered my car with eibach+agx, i got 3 fingers in the front fender/wheel gap, 1.5 finger in the rear, is this about right or I have a "boat" now?

I have the sportlines and with 15s that's about right, but it'll probably settle a little bit more in a couple days.

all 4 of my sparkplugs have oil below the compression rings. Meaning that the wires dont have oil, but below all that, there's oil.
Gaskets are new, what could it be?
Bad valve guide? valve seal? oil rings blown?

misread, leak is much lower than just the lower tube seals. in for the answer.

is your car out of commission?

[b3nsonx]

commission? you mean compression?
My car is running low compression, about 120 psi per cylinder, the mininum allowed is 135 psi.

most likely bad cam tower o rings. hit me up if you need work done...
I work for honda so getting parts wouldn't be an issue.

i think i will just wait until i rebuild the motor, then do it all at once.
