Zen, I never changed a motor before so I m kinda chicken, Im kinda thinking on doing the head gaskt myself.

I've done both on my mother-in-law's Mercury Tracer . . . Changing the engine was EASIER AND CHEAPER than changing the head gasket with the engine still in the car. I have a cherry picker you can use.

Good luck with that, you have been warned!

I think this "Super Head Fixer" decision was made by your hickified hay-seed alter ego (Futon). You/Futon must have eaten a bad possum!

After that doesn't work, remember, I have a cherry picker . . . changing an engine isn't as hard as you think. It just takes time. :wink:

Ok I found just the head gasket for $50 bucks,
From the looks of things I leave the intake manifold connected so a full gasket set is wastfull
Get the head checked and smoothed. Waste a couple weekends. vroom zoom.

Neato ill try em.

Strange, I started up the honda to park it out of the way, and it ran ok not surging. so I filled up the radiator and it still ran ok no surging no bubbles.

Wacky, Maybe all the stop leak sealed things up, I added a half can of bars leak just for kicks. Honda ran for a 30 minutes then the radiator started peeing out a a pin hole under the front bumper on my leg.

I filled an old 6 gallon gas tank with water, I'm gonna have the kid drive it around with the radiator cap loose.
