DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) I just pulled this out of a kids car on Saturday. He drove it to my house and claimed it had a blown headgasket. However there was no coolant in the oil, no oil in the antifreeze, no smoking, never overheated...his car was using coolant. I haven't tore it apart to check and make sure its not blown, but my gut instinct tells me its not a bad headgasket, more likely he had a bad radiator. Does not have distributor or intake manifold $75 takes it oh yeah it has 124k miles on it Edited December 8, 2009 by DaddyBuiltRacing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 My dad should have an extra one laying around. What year is your bosses car? 88-95 use the same style plug 96-00 use a different one. Let me know because the bro in law has both styles laying around I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakotart Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 It might be the water pump. My 91 CRX was "using" water. I'd have to add 2 water bottles every other month. After about 8 months the pump completely crapped out. I just replaced it 2 weeks ago so I can't confirm if it really is fixed. (no water in oil, no oil in coolant, in my case either.)

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Could very well be a headgasket like I stated in my first post, just no signs that are commonly there for a blown headgasket. Even if you have to put a headgasket on it you have what 125 in a running motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
