not really sure weather is should be on crv post but my 94 tegy has a b20 with a blown head gasket i dont really no what i have to do to take the head off to change gasket. if anyone knows where i can find that information that would be nice thank you...

 

go to a library and take out a chiltons manual or something. If youve never done one or are not to familar with this type of repair find someone that is to help you so you dont expletive it up.

 

for starters ...do you own an impact gun? The crank pulley bolt is a *****. Just double check before you throw on a new head gasket that the head or the block isnt warped...otherwise your gasket isnt going to seal properly and all that hard work you just did is waisted.

Better yet, just pick one up at your local auto parts store. A Chilton or Haynes is around $15-$20, and the information is contains is extremely helpful when working on your car. For those who don't want to invest in the more expensive Helm, either of these are readily available and very budget-friendly.

 

has anyone tried this just curious or knows anyone who has? http://www.rxauto.com

 

I'd be wary of "band-aid" solutions like that, and with the price they are charging, you really aren't saving very much in terms of cost over a true head gasket replacement.

 

I've had a blown headgasket for a while now. I used it as a dd. I just burn some coolant every once and a while. A nice slow leak but the pressure builds up sometime and I've blown rad hoses and ****. I'm going to ask some friends to help me out and that would be your best bet. I have a B20 also fyi.

You can get a OEM gasket from Ebay for a decent price.

 

thanks im thinkin ill just do it myself

 

i did mine like two days ago and over torqued the head bolt. Be careful not to *** up the bolts

 

use the search button on head gasket write up its all laid out for
everyone who wants to but doesnt know how to. it has pictures
and is written for a vtec but same process for the most part.
just search for the tourqe specs and valve lash.
