Hi all. Greetings to you. I just bought a honda accord 2.0a jdm and i tried the power by flooring the pedal. Smooth and fast. However, after i stop, there is a burn smell coming from the right rear wheel area. Quite distinctive smell of burn rubber or oil. Is this normal? Please kindly advice.
Jeremy.

Re: Burn smell
apart from the few possibilities listed above, do check yr head gasket for oil spill or signs of oil lining below the valve cover. so when u accelerate, the engine oil inside works up and caused the oil spill onto yr exhaust manifold. thus burning of oil smell.
remedy: redo the valve cover gasket and use a thinker viscosity oil. this should solve yr problem for the next 2 yrs.
reason: due to wear and tear of engine and head/ valve gasket.
hope this helps.
