Default Overheated, pulled the head and hated it

Moms car 94 si, over heated, had bubbles in the radiator after I refilled it with coolant, revved it a tad and oil surfaced, capichino froth on the bottom of the oil cap.

Blown head gasket......

took the head off last night, I hate working on prelude motors there is no room, and everything is a pain in the ***.

pulling off hoses there is brown sludge every where.....

going to get the head surfaced and put it back on and hope everything is better....

I own a CRX and I am not sure how you guys deal with working on this car...

OK Rant over..

Yup, workin on our motors SUCKS compared to other Hondas!

I was helpin w/ a B16 swap in a CRX the other day and loved how much room there was around the motor! You could pack a few hobo's in there and still have room to move around!

But it's worth the frustration to drive a Prelude........

Try finding and fixing a coolant leak on the back of an SH. Gotta love ATTS units.
