Thanks a lot to all of you guys, but my engine is a F'23 and I am going to change the block, in fact the complete engine with an used one from the junker, 'cause the old one is cracked. Is there any problem if the spare one has another number diferent at F'23 ? ( I mean some sensor or something like that)

Thanks

Hello, first am not english speaking therefore sorry for my mistakes. I have an Accord '99 Vtech 4 cilinders. But after an overheating I fixed the chamber, replaced the gasket (Between the chamber and the engine block, that thing is a gasket ? ) but I still get the problem that the engine oil goes to the radiator. What could be going on with it ?

Thanks..

How much did the accord overheat?
How long did the car overheat?
The cylinder head (chamber) might be warped (bent).
If any more help is needed just ask.

 

There have been mentioned several times of owners running into problems with mis-drilled cylinder blocks. This condition involves one or more holes in the block to which the head bolts thread being drilled thru to the coolant passages.

What I would suggest first, is a protracted coolant system pressure check. Leave the cooling system pressurized for a while, watching to see if it looses pressure over time. If you see no external leaks, but the pressure drops, suspect a confirmed internal leak. If an additional volume of fluid appears in the Oil Pan, you know what you've got to do.

One of the first things done when an aluminum engine overheats; check the cylinder head for warps.

if your getting oil in the water there would seem to be a whole different problem i would do a leak down test to see if you can locate a crack or a leak somewhere else in the block but by the sounds of it you have a crack

 

i remeber reading a post on here about a guy that worked at a shop had the same problem...he tried everything to fix it and still had the problem...he then tryed a replacement engine and still had the problem..i think they finally figured out the problem as some f23's have a problem within the block, i think where the sleeve meets with the block, it was a manufacturing problem..i wish i could find that post, but that might be the problem...

 

sounds alot like a blew head gasket

it's not very easy to blew a N/A stock accord motor without being a real dumbass.

if you already see a milky oil mix of brown motor oil in the green coolant, it's mostly it.

 

after removing the engine cylinder head, did you inspect the surface of the head and teh blcok to make sure it is flat and straight?

or the cylinder head (chamber) might be cracked? you can have a shop pressure test it.

and yes the thing you replaced is called a "head gasket", good luck
