The search wasn't functioning. Does anyone know a good writeup? I'm sure a lot of it is commonsense, I'm pretty good with working on cars, but I want to know if there is anything not obvious I should look out for. I think the motor got a little hot, the needle started to creep towards the red, but I shut it off when that happened, then like a week later it started to miss a lot and the next day it got really bad. I pulled the plugs and cylinder 4 was all wet. Is it possible that getting the motor a little hot could have caused the motor to warp enough to get the gasket to go bad? When I kicked the cap off and coolant sprayed everywhere, when I usually take it off when it's hot, it doesn't even bubble. How do thinner ones work? Thanks

 

get in touch with JDMLifestyle, he has a website with a writeup.

Are you talking about the cap that on most cars usually says "don't remove while hot" (or something along those lines)
