Bubbles in Radiator cap/over heating help!
Car Info:
1994 Civic Dx
D15b7
195k miles
Car was overheating the other night during the winter..(2daysAgo)
weird.
I checked and i needed a lot of water..
I change the head gasket, thermostat, radiator nd cap in the summer and after that i never had a problem with it over heating. (also changed the exhaust and manifold gasket while i did that)
Yesterday i open the radiator cap and it had white bubbles..
Today i threw sum coolant to seal any leaks, and i didnt see the fan turned on either. It was on idle for about 8min. Im thinking it was suppose to turn on already.
What do the white bubbles meann? Head gasket again?
Nd its winter! wtf. HELP!

test to see if the bubbles contain carbon monoxcided chemical that changes colour most shops should be able to do this .did you have the head decked (maid flat) when you did the gasket ? how hot did it get ?

the shop cleaned it , made it flat, and put those gaskets inside(i 4got the name of them )
everything i took off when i did it, i made sure to put a new gasket in..

If they replaced it with another D15B7 headgasket then that's probably the reason. I've read it's better to replace with a headgasket for a D16Y8.
Also, check to see why your fan isn't turning on.. that's kind of important.
