[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 139030, member: 3756"] Head gasket, duh, I didn't think of that either... I think I can fix it if that's the problem, that gives me hope. But which head gaskets would I use on the hybrid engine, 1100 or 1200 head gaskets? Would you insist on only honda oem head gaskets? Is there anything special I should watch out for when putting it back together, do I have to modify head gaskets or do anything special to make passages line up for 1100 heads on 1200 block or to give clearance for the 1100 valves? So how would you proceed with troubleshooting? Change oil, check valve gap, run it hard for a couple hundred miles and if that doesn't straighten it out then take the head off? Or would you skip running it more and go straight to pulling the head? It keeps getting fuel in the oil also, over time my oil level rises. I put only 35 miles on it so far and after that I could tell the oil level rose because it started spitting more oil than normal from my cracked tach cable. Then I tried the water trick and got water in the oil also. I'd hate to change the oil again just to contaminate it again. A stuck valve wouldn't let water or fuel into the oil right? I think water and fuel in my oil rules that out, it must either be getting past the rings or past the head gasket right? [/QUOTE]
