a huge expensive job for a shop to do it? or a huge expensive job for someone to do themselves?

 

for the shop it will be expensive, you could do it yourself but its aloooot of work you basically strip the motor down to the block and redo the whole engine, its deffs time consuming, alot more cars out there w.o head gasket problem

 

good, my friend says he can do the work for me! i just have to buy the parts. im gonna go foooor iiiiit :3

 

uhhh ok good luck

 

Yea GOOD LUCK. I was looking on Craigslist today in Sacramento there are more Honda's FOR SALE than anything else. They were cheap. If there are that many in Sacramento then my guess is in most Cities there are bunches also.

 

thanks for the vote of confidence guys -_-

 

yeah thank god for the guy helpin you cus if it wasnt for him, prolly 2grand for a shop to do it, at least

 

I'm beginning to think that's the only gasket you know of in an engine. This is the second thing you've insisted is a head gasket problem when it's plainly not the case in two days. Also, head gaskets on an inline four are not a huge deal. I don't see any reason the engine should have to come out (I don't even pull Subaru boxer engines for head gaskets) and I seriously doubt it'll be $2k, even at a dealership.


OP, if it's burning a noticeable amount of oil (all engines burn a slight amount of oil, even new ones; there's actually a manufacturer's specification for the maximum amount of oil burn-off) I'd stay far, far away. That's the kind of thing you really don't want to mess with.

 

BTW if anyone has unlimited carfax/autocheck could one of you guys do me a favor and run the vin? 2HGEJ6343WH121793 thanks in advance! :3

 

i need 2 crossmembers fixed and that was at least 1500 at a mechanics alignment shop so im sure it would cost that much, and in canada we dont use carfax at least i dont think we do , maybe reaper can help you with that one, btw now me n my dad will fix the steering issues with the cross members but it is still aloot of work
