dont be a vagina and go do it by yourself in 2 hours if your incompetent, 30 mins if not
takes me 3-4hrs to do a HG/studs working slowly and carefully + cleaning

Re: blown headgasket....?

Re: blown headgasket....?
 

welll i pulled the head today in about 20min. easier than i thought. and the sleeves wernt cracked! :)


but the gasket didnt look bad? just kinda flakey around the sleeves? is this normal? do they normally not look too bad? also lots of water in the oil very milky looking

Re: blown headgasket....?
 

f'n a dude. if its milky its done for. i never seen a honda with blwn hg. <-- luck..
but my pontiac had multiple problems and it made it hard to tell the problem. but yes one of my two hg were toast. still drove it tho with no smoke till the hose exploded and dumped 2 gallons of water on to a 200+ degree exsuast manifold. stunk and gave real white smoke. however at start-up i could rest a bare hand on the manifold but the intake manifold was roasting hot. it never puked and i had no heat. never leaked but it allways had a empty resivouir. you draw it up, i hate coolant problems.

Re: blown headgasket....?
 

check the head, or fror he price get a used one and then put it together

Re: blown headgasket....?
 

cars been fixed for 2 weeks. headgasket was the problem.

Re: blown headgasket....?
 

i had a 98 cavalier back when i was in college, i had a headgakset and headbolts sittin at home waitin for the sucker to blow, back on topic tho, good to see you got your rig fixed up.

Re: blown headgasket....?
 

How are your bearings doing? Coolant in the oil does not do good things for bearings :P Oh, and I hope you used a MLS headgasket...multi-layer-steel...if it's a composite one it'll just pop again.
