Head Gasket Leak?
So im in the process of maybe trading a 93 civic dx. When i got it the guy said it needed a O2 sensor and a TPS. I got those today and its running like crap, barley goes out of second gear, and when it does no power (goes maybe 20-25 at max). It wont stay at idle, it boggs down to where it dies sometimes. And it smokes white like crazy(i figured that was a blown head gasket or valves not seating properly):mad:. Heres the catch! The fella said he replaced the Head with a 16 valve-it origianly had an 8 valve. So i just wanted to see if i had this correct and im gnna say the head gasket is blown?
Thanks Kile |
I wouldn't touch that car, gona be a bad trade for you..

Yeah, expect to have to replace the engine, and make your offer accordingly.
Anytime someone says that the non-working used car they're trying to sell would run great if it just had a couple of inexpensive parts put on it, they're clearly lying. They would have fixed it already as that would increase its value beyond what the parts cost. |
surprisingly, it was just the head gasket. got it put on and it runs just fine now! and while i had the head off i cleaned the vavles and valve seats and all that other good stuff on the head. But thanks guys.

Congrats on the new car and successful repair!
