Head Gasket Blew

[NorcoAccord]

Last night me and my girlfriend were driving down to the mall in buffalo, and we both started smelling oil. I look out and see a small cloud of following behind me. I didn't thinking nothing of it because it was cold and the car just started well i drive a little further down the road and i see my temp gauge climbing. I got off the freeway and and pulled into the Hilton hotel. I got in a spot and turned the car off, popped the hood and pulled the dip stick out and there was this lite brown stuff. So i got towed home and now I am going used car shopping. Soon I will have a newer ride and be parting out my accord. yippee Skippie.

I am still going to float around on the site. I am looking at a 1998 grand prix or a 2000 intrigue

Hmm I'm waiting for Deevs input on the Grand Prix.

If you do go the GP route get the S/C..

:edit:

Besides..a HG is fairly easy to tackle (if you know what your doing)

ive done a headgasket with machine work in less than 10 hours. LOL, go ahead and get a grand prix.

I'm in the process of doing a HG now on this 91 LX coupe I bought, I've done one before and its not that hard. You're giving up too easy man. Although this car ended up needing a new block b/c it was so poorly taken care of, oh well I guess i'm learning more.

i have had this car for five years done 2 motor swaps 3 transmissions. I just want a car that i dont have to fix a lot.

are you sure you're putting quality parts back in when you did all those swaps? Or are you just recycling the JY parts back into your car?

[wed3k]

that is quite a bit, im on my 3rd motor and 2nd clutch. it runs good but i get a distributor issue every once in a while.

I guess I don't run mine hard enough. I'm still on the original motor and clutch at 200k, hit 6k rpm at least once everyday.

Yeah the problems started with the first swap I took it to a good company my brother recommend and they sold me a lame h22 that had tons of nitrous damage (found that out later). They f up a ton of my wiring and I spent a year fixing what I could till the transmission gave up. Took it to a company I had a good relation with. they fixed it about 98 percent but there were still little monster here and there on the H23. When all the motor were put I asked for all the maniance to done I.E. water pump timing belt plugs and such. the first company did just the plugs and wires. I am just tired of it now. the car has tons of body damage former owner and now is getting rusty.

[wed3k]

I didn't get either of those cars. I now own a 2010 Chevy avieo. its a fun little car. it has enough power for now, but I have ideas for mods coming soon.
