im getting a honda civic in a few hours. its got almost no rust, it has a little spot on roof, which is amazing for a 1991 civic in wisconsin. (drove up from texas a few months back) it has a blown head gasket, but comes with a new one. anyone have a good walkthrew for changeing a head gasket. ive done it on a lawn mower, trying to get into fixing up cars. thanks a ton guys.

 

I am sure there are a bunch of DIY guides out there.

Anyways, while you are down there, I would replace the water pump/timing belt/tensioner, too.

 

how much that cost?

 

Does what cost? T-belt, water pump and tensionor? Probably about $100 total from Honda. I would suggest to gather all parts needed, and place an order with hondapartsdeals.com. They have discounted rates, but you pay shipping (instead of walking into the Honda dealership and walking out with the parts). However, place an order for a few things and it will work out in your favor since they usually combine shipping.

 

well we almost got it home. i didnt realise it needs a new clutch, a new alt, a new battery. me and my buddy got another mile of pushing to do. might just pull it with his subby OBS...
