99CiViCSi99 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Head gasket it shall be. Like he said, it's not hard, but if you didn't know if that's normal or not, you might want some assistance when changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamLach Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 a step by step would be helpful, im kind of a noob but i dont want to have to take it in to the shop so id rather just pick it up at auto zone and do it myself thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 yeah, i wouldnt go to autozone for a headgasket either.. go to the honda dealership for an OEM gasket. it'll be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I got a step by step guide from cranny when I needed to change my headgasket. It was very helpful. The whole process took only about an hour, and I had no assistance, nor did I need any. Here is a link: http://www.hondaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=14628&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatchbacksRme Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 He needs to know how to loosen the head bolts in the right pattern too. If your new to this while your at autozone pick up a honda book or look it up online. Make sure you also clean the bottom of the head and block for sealing assurance. Also get yourself a torque wrench so you dont snap your bolts like ive seen happen before. Other than that good luck man...... peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLach Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 yeah that is for valve cover gaskets...i need head gasket step by step please. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 ive already typed out this before im sure of it. in the search bar put in head gasket and im sure youl find it. wasnt even that long ago. not being lazy man but its alot of typing , lol , if the mods around here would start stickying stuff like that , (the step by steps that i and others have typed out) , it would make this site a whole lot better. more informative anyways. or more user friendly at least. if you cant find it dude let me know.

TS John Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Shoot, you did ask about a head gasket. My apologies. It must have been late when I read this thread and gave you that link. Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
