reservoir full and boiling temp gauge normal no smoke no oil/coolant mix what the ----? i woulda thought it would overheat. but what you think? headgasket? air pocket? |

Re: headgasket revisited...
Hmm.I would try bleeding the coolant system and then try a pressure test on the coolant system.

and it heats up normally and holds it there perfect...who knows, i have that one low cylinder, but i guess it could still just be an air pocket. i bled that thing for freaking ever tho. |
Re: headgasket revisited...
Well i ahve worked on a few hondas including mine that the temp gauge didnt move past half but on the manual auto temp gauge was up to 210

hg is done oh well if it is the headgasket, at least i know and its an easy fix. |
Re: headgasket revisited...
heres another trick to check for hg
if you have that coolant valve open it to air it out wait till its completely air free and rev it a bit with ur finger bubbles come back ------->hg |
Re: headgasket revisited...
I thought the same on mine.. I noticed the rad was low on coolant so I topped up the overflow bottle (engine was too warm to open rad). Next day I took off the rad cap to burp the system of all air. about 20 seconds after starting the coolant level in the rad just rose. nothing bubbled out but it rose to the point of overflowing the rad so i just threw the cap back on it.
maybe that can help... |
