Default howto/tips on changing 92 2.3L SI prelude head gasket

I find myself filling up my antifreeze reservoir more then i think it is normal, and also a bit of a white smoke after being idle at a trafic light.
Could it be my head gasket? ('92 prelude SI).

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have any smoke coming from the breather in your valve cover? If so, your piston rings are probably shot. Look for signs of coolant in your oil or oil in your radiator, if your radiator fluid smells funny, go to NAPA and they have this little kit that test for, i believe, carbon monoxide, inside the fluid. This tells you if you have a blown head gasket or not. You could also do a compression test, but in my opinion i think they suck. Good luck

Thankx a lot Gude...
I havent seen any smoke thru the breather, nor any residues on my coolant or oil as a matter of fact, which i thought was weird. I suspect it might be a small rupture just enough to make it to the exhaust...In any way thank you for your advice, I will look for the lil test thingie!
