So my parents bought this 1993 Civic DX EG8 with a D15B7 at the end of 1992 and drove it regularly, then for the last 7 years, it's been sitting un-driven until I started working on it about a year ago.
Car has about 162K miles on it. It started smoking and tapping a lot, so we replaced the head gasket, water pump, and timing belt as well as reset the timing. Didn't really help at all.
Pulled the head and redid the head gasket again. Didn't really help. It's blowing a LOT of white-blueish smoke. and there's a slight tapping that doesn't go away even in the 2.5K to 4K rev range.
My father thinks it might be an oil problem, my brother thinks it's a timing issue, and I think the piston rings need to be replaced. teal_dx seems to know what he's talking about, so I'd like his input.
Need a buddy to help me get down to the nitty-gritty and figure this out with me.
