92 Accord LX, No compression.

piston rings...unlikely though, 'cus you were just driving at 55 and the car just 'turned off.'

when was the last time the timing belt was changed before this happened?

Yea, that's what somebody else said, on another forum, but they were being D!cks. Anyways, yea, I was doing about 55 and it turned off, and I lost all my power. Power steering, and brakes, and all that good stuff. lol. I think it was changed last year.

So, Piston rings are the only other thing that would cause no compression? and what would've happened to my car if it was piston rings in the act of driving?

Note: I went and I looked at the Spark Plug(1) and it was like messed up at the tip, what is hitting the spark plug to where it is grinding the spark plug down??? Could it be the Valves that hit it? I think pieces of Spark Plug are in my Cylinder.

Nope dood cant be the rings, cause my rings were basically shocked when I first got my cord. I still hadnt even replaced them yet ethier.. But I just use alot of Lucas Oil, IMO, you should use that on your engine, especially if its an old engine with alot of miles. But oh yea, to check for good compression, go to the pvc hose ( It connects from the valve cover straight onto the throttle body) take the hose off on the throttle body end And put your finger on the top of the hole, if it sucks you finger down, you should have good compression...This is only an assumption for me tho. try it if you want. Oh yea be sure to have your car running when you do this, if possible..

Rings can cause a loss in compression or no comporession at all. They basically seal the combustion chamber. The only other way is a bent valve as already mentioned. And for the sucking finger down that doesnt tell you crap. It just tells you its somewhat sealing. You wont know the real compression unless you buy a tester and test for yourself.

you know, ive blown up a few small engines (4 wheeler, go cart, my bro's moped, lawntracters) and they all lost compresion through th rings. So yeah, rings are a pretty big issue. Did it ever smoke befor it died?

[cleanwithit0607]

Well, me and my dad went out there, and we looked down the number 1 hole, and, the piston has a hole in it. I have no clue what to do about that, i already ordered a Cylinder Head, but, I will probably need it if i'm going to fix it.

You know, I couldn't really tell because I was driving.

so you guys already took the head off? what hole did you look through.

[ex_style90]

Are you gonna check those rings then?

[AllWhiteCoupe]

yeah, rings are vital if you want compresion. Ive blown up lots of small engines befor (4 wheelers, dirtbikes, go carts, lawntractors) and it was always the rings that caused the loss in compresion. Did your car smoke befor it died?

[AllWhiteCoupe]

yeah scratch that. i forgot a already said that LOL

[AllWhiteCoupe]

sounds like a valve broke and droped into the cylender. that happened to my friends Supra. She had to replace the engine entirely. Hopefully yours isn't that bad, but it doesnt sound good...

[ex_style90]

yeah scratch that. i forgot a already said that LOL

rightttttttttttt... lol

No, My dad looked down some hole and said that there was a hole in the piston, I dunno which hole.
