For the past 2 months I've been having a problem with oil in the radiator. It all started when I got small punctures in two radiator hoses and the car ran hot really badly. I've replaced all the hoses, even the top and bottom ones. Now it's just a matter of replacing the head and/or gasket I suppose. My main question is this: What are the odds replacing the head and gasket will do the job? How likely is it I have a cracked block instead? I've seen other forums where other people have had the same problem, and 9 times out of 10 it's a bad head and gasket, but it's that 1 scenario where it's a cracked block that worries me. Is it worth it try to replace the head and gasket and hope for the best, or am I taking to big of a risk on the off chance my engine's block is damaged? Specs: 99 Accord LX, 4 cyl, 2.3L, ULEV V-TECH, auto trans. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Anyone know the timing sequence or have the diagram for a 99 Honda Accord LX 4 cyl 2.3 L ULEV VTECH? I'm getting those repairs I mentioned earlier done and that's the only missing piece to the puzzle. Can't find the Honda repair manual or the Chilton/Haynes books in stock anywhere except online and I need the info a lot sooner than when they can be shipped. |

Replying to: mitchflorida (Jul 23, 2009 4:39 pm) I might not even need the head, so if I have to return it that'll save me about 275 (350 minus 75 dollar restock fee to send it back) |

| I own a '98 honda accord and the ride has been getting a little rougher with more rattling over bumps recently. I replaced the front with stock shocks from a friend's accord (who totaled the car) about 4 years ago. The back were replaced about 3.5 years ago with monroe sensatrac. I live in Los angeles and frequently drive on the winding sunset blvd. Would replacing my shocks/struts with monroe vs. KyB Gr-2 make much difference? Or do I need to get better struts? Tokico? (I know those can be pricer) Also, agility handling is not as crisp as before (it is 10 years old). What about sway bars? Or changing the sway bar bushing kit? My tires are not too bad right now (yokoh....brands), so I'm not worried about that. I'm trying to keep my car for another 1-2 years, but was wondering what the best thing would be to do to keep good agility and suspension. I don't mind if it's a little stiff like my friend's Acura Tsx....that handles really well...thanks. | |
When I start up either cold or hot engine the transmission has difficulty changing into 2nd gear and also 3rd. The jerk is strong and at times. Any ideas other than a new transmission I could look at....
