im pretty sure my head gaskets blown. Leaking oil from between the block/head and white smoke out the exhaust so its got to be the HG?. Cars off the road which gives me time but i cant drive it to the garage for any tests etc..
ive got a budget of around £300-400 and wondering if id be better off buying a different head, cams etc while doing this work? i want to get as much as i can out of my b16a while keeping it n/a.
Id get a bigger engine, go turbo etc but its in my sir-s and i want to keep it nearly all original.
Having only done a head gasket on my 306 like 5 years ago im not 100% confident on doing the job but been searching the net, watching videos etc and between me any my mate reckon we could do it, if anyones got a link to a good detailed headgasket change id like to see it as im needing as much info as possible so we dont mess it up. Also like to get some advice on what parts i should buy when doing this job, ive read ARP headbolts are about the best?
I want a genuine honda gasket set, went to my honda dealer and got told they can get the parts but would be bought individually and would cost a bomb so he told me to shop around.. not what you usually here from that place!! So where do people buy these kind of parts online?
basically any help would be great! lol
thanks
picture shows the leak and the dodgy manifold. Went to take it off and sheerd the stud, that bolt has always been there so guessing ive got two studs to extract before it sees the road
