I have a 1990 Honda Civic Wagon (1.5L)
Well, I have a blown head gasket (almost certain, if not, it is a cracked head or block ) Well to get this taken care of, I got my exhaust manifold off and my intake manifold off (I have completely removed them from the head; I actually even removed the gaskets.) I also remover the timing belt from the pulley, and the water hose pipe and other sensors from the side. Now I removed all 10 of the head bolts, however the head doesn't want to move a bit.

I have already tried using PB Blaster, lever the head off using a breaker bar (It seems to lift the whole block up with it as well),tried to pry it using my screwdriver (the screwdriver was a little too big), tried whacking it with a rubber mallet (my mallet was chopped) however I have not had any results as much as simply moving it a bit.

Is there any other way to do this. Any help would be really appreciated.

 

If you are lifting the entire motor while trying to pull the head off the block, I am certain that you are missing something. Are there any brackets on the back which could still be connected?

 

those guide pins are probably stuck

the gasket will probably be hard to get off

 

Well, I finally got it off.

I took off the camshaft and the cam gear. No since I had a lot more room to play with, I pulled on the back of the head and leaned back (towards the front of the car). This I think loosened it, and I had to wiggle it around quite a bit, before the whole thing finally came apart.

Well, I'm glad that it finally came off.

 

Wagons are beast. Probably an awesome car.

 

It really is an awesome car. I can almost get to anything, to work on it. The car's had over 260,000 mi on it. It's amazing how well these cars can run, so long as you take good care of them.
