ok well its a stock 86 crx si... over heating again.. was headgasket last time and im thinking it could be that again but my thermostat housing is held together with vise grips so ... what do you people think? break it down change head gaskets again? or what .. i also have a friend with a b18 for sale with an auto tranny and motor mounts for 200 bucks but auto tranny how would i go about getting a manual? help please

 

Are you burning coolant? Is the oil mixing in with the coolant?

For the b18 you will need to source a b series cable type 5spd transmission

 

The cooling system also must be able to hold pressure..
at least 13 p.s.i.,Otherwise,it will most likely overheat.

[Water under pressure has a much higher boiling point..]

I'm guessing yours may not.

 

Have you changed the actual thermostat? I would try that then see whats up.

That sounds about right. Buy it before someone else does

 

SO U THINK ITS THE HEAD GASKET?

 

OR COULD IT BE THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE SENDING UNIT?

 

Does the fan kick on?

 

yea, my crx does the same, but i have no fan , that could be it huh?
