Re: blown headgasket....?

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.

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.
