Not sure if this is the right section for this.
My friends car, 2000 acura integra gsr recently got some work done. it was misfiring alot and had no compression on 2 cylinders. He got a shop to do the head and send the head out for work and every seal was replace (thats what they said).
Now on startup mainly cold, white smoke comes out of the exhaust. It never did it before, and only started after the head rebuild.
In my mind maybe the wrong valve guide seals were used, but I have this other mechanic saying that it can be the oil control ring. And the reason it wasnt noticed before was because that cylinder wasnt firing correctly...
my friend is a little bummed because we convinced him to just do the head instead of the whole motor. It only had 135k on it and thats why I assumed the bottom block would be fine, also the budget wasnt that great for parts.
Any info or input Id appreciate it.
