Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    idle troubles

    I've had my f22a6 cb7.10th anniversary for a little over a month now when I got it it had a fresh block put in along with a new head. New gaskets from top to bottom lately I have been noticing a weird idle almost like its cammed. Rough idle. And I get a oil burn smell through the heat vents I have on occasion smelled antifreeze. But upon checking oil its not milky or bubbly. No mixing going on no leaks under the car. Just wondering if anyone has any info on what I should look into for the rough idle cap rotor? Plugs are all good no loose wires. It dose have a tick in the valvetrain. #2 cylinder. Any help on how to go about fixing these to get me through to Oct would.be awesome ill have a fresh rebuilt f22 to go in it then I just don't want this to take a crap on me before im finnished with the rebuild. thanx guys

      Forgot to mention it drives absolutely fine throttle response is great dosent bog in any gears its just that idle that it recently developed and it hasent had a timing belt yet. Oil is always full running Quaker state 5w-30. No temperature issues I just did a thermostat on it.

        heres my 2 cents on my cb7 the distributor was leaking causing oil to burn off of the tranny/engine, at idle I would smell burning oil. As for antifreeze look for a coolant leak, radiator, hose anything. The same thing might be happening, burning off the engine.

          OK curtie. I took your to cents. Dist tho was not loose or.leaking. I. Did however pull plugs #1 was as beautiful as they come no carbon build up or hot spots on the head #'s 2,3&4 however were all covered in carbon build up. And had hotspots ntm absolutely covered in oil. And when. I mean covered I mean dripping with oil as I'm pulling them out so I can only think either piston rings are fried or valvecover gasket is fried. To let that much oil in on the plugs but that's my input for the day. Ill keep updating hopefully I find out what this is. So maybe it can help someone else out if they run into this situation.

            If the plugs were wet, it isn't piston rings or the valve cover seal. It is your spark plug tube seals. Replace them, and you will most likely fix the problem. I believe there is a detailed DIY in the DIY section of this site.
