Ok guys, I am in the middle of a catastrophy. About 3 weeks ago my 91 std hatch started burning water....BAD! I filled the entire parking lot at work with bright white smoke! I drove it home & parked it. I am now driving my bimmer while making plans to repair/replace the motor. Here's the problem. My bimmer took a dump on me today & I need a quick fix for the civic. I already have made arrangements to meet someone next weekend to pick up a low mileage replacement, but I need wheels now. I have searched all of the head gasket posts, and alot of them mention having the head milled. The problem with that is the urgency in which I need to get this done. Do you guys think I would be able to get away with just replacing the parts (head gasket, IM gasket, plugs & such) to get me around until I can get the other motor bolted up? I mean I know it is always better to be safe than sorry, but I need to get this done this weekend. I guess this is mostly a request for opinions from people who have done this with out milling the head. But feel free to chime in with any useful input.

Thanks

 

c'mon guys...no one has any advice for me?
