I have 96 civic dx auto. I hade trouble with car starting for a while and when it tried to start white smoke came out that smelt like antifreeze. When it started it sounded like it was misfireing bad. Now it nolonger starts and just smokes like a freightrain. I pulled the plugs and wires and my 2 and 4 pugs are black and have antifrezze and oil on them, the thing that gets me is my 1 and 3 are fine I need to know weather to get head gasket or just get another motor. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

well without knowing exactly what happened to the motor in the first place I'd say you're gonna need a head gasket at MINIMUM...possibly a motor if something is cracked etc....either way you'll have to pull the head off to see what's going on...then you'll have your answer.

My 1st cylender was about half full of antifreeze. my #2 had litle bit and my 3&4 were dry little bit burnt. I think from the first 2 cylenders having anti. in them stopped from firein worked 3&4 so hard. other than that every thing looks good had ofer from kid today for $700.00 cash i think i might take it i wanted 1000 though.

Sounds like that block isnt worth keeping. Not a very expensive motor in the first place, but even after the Head Gasket fix I bet you're going to run into more and more troubles.

When there's liquid in the Cylinders the head will almost always be warped.

just save up for a new used engine..even a used d15 or d16....
