head gasket

[Civic Accord Honda]

today the 3g completely blew the head gasket smoke all over and what not so im ordering a new top end gasket kit on sunday (need to use my grandparents creditcard since i only have cash)

and i allready got it almost all torn down just need to get the damn header to down pipe bolts off and then remove the head bolts and pull it out

it has not overheated it so i know the head is not damaged

[russiankid]

So the question is? Or is this just to inform us?

Make sure you do it right so you won't waste money. By all means follow the torque procedure in the shop manual.

To have more compression you can use a thinner gasket, but I personally wouldn't on a stock engine.

Ugh. What a mess.

Threadjack: whatever happened with your Legend's smog issue?

[Civic Accord Honda]

legend got another temp tag i got until November 31st to smog it also just got pulled over in it today for the shattered windshield so i had to order a new window today...

well i just got done cleaning all the carbon off the head.. and got cylinder 1 and 4 clean 2 and 3 are being a bitch since there not all the way up like 1 and 4

its werid that cylinder 1 had no carbon build up just wiped clean but all the others have thick layers of carbon build up but the engine looks really good under the carbon

[lostforawhile]

please say those aren't scrape marks on the cyl walls and aluminum chips. your pictures are so blurry i can't tell

[Civic Accord Honda]

no there not the pic came out bad lol my sisters camera sucks at close up pics the cylinder walls are actually very smooth and i don't see any scratches or pit marks

[GTRSkyline43]

Damn!

[AccordB20A]

yeah those pics suck it probably would be better if you didnt go so close. i have to stand 3 meters away from the computer to see them.
your head gasket has blown worcer than the one im currently doing.

[redaztec]

Dang, looks like that head gasket was leaking a lot. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to seeing it clean and running well again!

[ghettogeddy]

the oil looks like water down chocolate milk lol

[russiankid]

MMM chocolate milk. Keep up the work and keep us updated. Looks like you will have to do lots of coolant flushes.

Bars leak is my diagnosis for your head gasket blowing. What was leaking that you had to use bars leak?

These head gaskets don't go that easily.

the head gasket blew back a few months ago could not afford to fix it and it was the only car at the time so i could not have it down for a few weeks so i used the bars leak it worked up untill now but i noticed it pluged up some of the coolant passages that i had to clean out

[nswst8]

Make sure you flush this block well.

[88Accord-DX]

Yeah, coolant blew into the oil. Clean all the carbon off them valves before you install the head. Clean that coolant out real good & flush the oil out the pan with some seafoam. Be careful not to nick the aluminum head to bad with a razor. I would straight edge that head & make sure their is not cracks in it. Shops do a magni-flux for cracks, but cost money. Not trying to tell you what to do, but a few tips I thought I'd throw in there.
I'm not so sure about them ebay head gaskets, it says graphite, but I trust Fel-pro myself. Anyhow, good luck with it.

[Civic Accord Honda]

well guys looks like i wont be the one to fix this engine =O ... a certain forum member on here is going to buy the car off me (not saying names so dont ask your find out later on lol :p)
