Re: Know of any good forums on how to replace head gasket correctly????
honda says to replace them every time you take the head off,
but there are plenty of guys who dont and are fine.

gasket for sure but not the head studs. even better if you get arp would last longer.

I have had the head off of my LS countless times and have never replaced the bolts, except for this last time when i upgraded to ARP studs. I have never had a problem.

well crap. now that i go looking for the page, i don't see anything about it. I could have sworn I read it there, I guess I read it from a different credible source.

That's why I asked. The only time I have seen the suggestion to replace head bolts is on internet forums. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think the Helm's manual would have been more explicit if the bolts are TTY.

sorry, but seriously you could have had your answer 10 hours ago if you just considered that you're not the first person on the internet to want to change a civic's head gasket.

Re: Know of any good forums on how to replace head gasket correctly????
I missed the part where you said it was for a B-series. Maybe if you didn't post 3 times in a row I wouldn't have glanced over that so quickly.
Regardless...
2nd search result for "how to change b-series head gasket"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...t+&btnG=Search
Do you now understand the concept of a search engine? You can use google just as easily as anyone else. I don't know why you're asking for someone else to search for readily available information for you.

I don't think there is an entire forum out there dedicated to changing the head gasket on a B-series engine.
Do you mean a thread?

just an FYI, you can edit your posts by using the button in the bottom right hand corner of your post.
That second search result in the last google link I gave you has step by step instructions further down in the thread. It has no pictures, but if you're changing a head gasket I would hope that you don't need pictures to figure out what you're doing.

B-series may be different. I don't have a manual in front of me right now.
