You can continue with the ghetto gasket..and drive that bitch around till you finish saving. Absolute worst case...motor takes a ****. Pay the small tow fee or if you have a hookup even better. THEN park it And get a head start yankin the old one out before the B16 comes. I wish I could be of more help but thats all I can think of doing. I dont want to give you some dumb **** answer and get you nowhere.

Lets see what Hondas are made of, haha.

Take the thermostat out and run water-wetter if its overheating. I dont understand it though, a SOHC head gasket is like, 40 bucks and it takes a couple of hours to change.

Although, you should really not drive it like that, unless you know someone with a trailor, a tow can get pretty pricey if anything happens
