This seems like a great forum, I have searched around and found alot of great info,

now to my problem
I got a 93 dx with a stcok 15b7, it runs great when its cold, but as soon the thermostat opens (it heats up) the #1 cyl starts to fill with coolant, enought to make it not fire and coolant starts to pool in the intake runner, (since i can see coolant on teh injector seat) and when i take off teh intake manifold there is a small pool on top of the intake valves. I have replaced the intake gasket and bypassed all the coolant items on the itake the (FIV and EACV) but there is still coolant showing up after it warms up,

Could this be a a cracked head or a cracked intake manifold

Thx in advance

Blown head gasket possibly.

a blown head gasket wouldntlet coolent into the runner of the intake manifold, sounds like what your saying though a cracked head, i wouldnt lean to much towards the cracked intake to much.

thx i am thinking its the head as well, there is just too much coolant to be a gasket or such, and since the coolant doesnt start until the temp rises it must be the pressure rises in the head, I will take it aport soon and find out

OH i just bought a 07 civic hybrid last night its the wifes and she loves it

yup it was the head gasket got it on today, it was a mess, i polished the head with a dremel, (lol) it was just a bit of fun, I riped out the ac system, Hawaii doesnt really need it. So whats the next east HP mod

Thx
