"Reading" 1998 Honda Civic head gasket failure
2 Attachment(s)
Almost done with head gasket replacement. Since I know I pulled the original 1998 Honda head gasket from the car because I have owned it since June 2001, I thought it would be fun to compare the old with the new OEM. Inthese photos, the new one is above the old. See all the missing black material on the old one? The #1 cylinder seemed to be the worst. On the head and on the block, the worst contamination was around #1 and also #2, though it was not quite as bad.
Top of the gaskets, #1 cylinder is on the right http://ecomodder.com/forum/attachmen...1&d=1526162530 Bottom of the gaskets, #1 cylinder is on the left http://ecomodder.com/forum/attachmen...1&d=1526162547 Oil was getting into coolant, coolant was contaminted with combustion gasses, and a little coolant and maybe oil was burning. But no coolant ever in the oil. "Reading" it, I see the day I first brought my daughter home, thousands of commutes, trips all over the country, including through the Hopi and Navaho reservations... across country, & 260,000 miles of never fail machine greatness. Engineering is amazing. Precision factory production is amazing. |
Is the missing gasket material stuck to the head & block, or is it just gone?

Probably blown out and gone. Have a similar failure on 2 different cylinders on my 4Runner. No coolant in the oil, but oil in the coolant and catastrophic failure occurred after about 1500 miles of driving it with them 'mildly' blown. (burning off minor coolant and changing coolant every 200mi to keep it from getting too contaminated).

Are Navajo tacos still Navajo tacos if they are made by gringos?

There was something called Show Low Days and when I mentioned I had not had a Navajo taco Mom insisted on buying me one, even when we saw they were $14.
It is amazing how outrageous prices affect my appetite. There was an apathetic Native American taking orders and when I went to the trailer window to pick it up I saw that there were four gringos inside actually making the food. |
