The gfs accord ran out of rego so it was parked on the lawn for 2 weeks. up to then it was running fine. didnt use a drop of oil or water always ran PERFECT. Then she put rego on it and went to use it again but straight away it had a missfire. ran like ass and used all the coolant in the radiator. pushed it all out the overflow. and put the rest into the oil. FOR NO REASON
Well there is a reason actually. When i bought the car it had been sitting for a couple of years with rusty water in the radiator. it had obviously corroded away at the head gasket and fucked it over time. and when it sat for 2 weeks it gave up for good. even tho i had flushed the cooling system 500 times after i bought it to get rid of the rust from it.
So now im doing a head gasket on the ol girl. I thought while im at it ill change all of the other bits as well so i have ordered as cambelt, tensioner, water pump. complete head set so ill change all the sea;s etc. i got a new fuel filter and O2 sensor for it also.
pics part one. removing the head and inspecting the problem:
