i have a 96 civic with about 130,xxx miles on it and it runs good/well BUT..... my radiator is full of slippery/dark/milky/ **** water. i change it every time i drive and it still over heats a lil bit. what are the causes of this and what do i need to do to get it right. THANX GUYS!!!!

 

Is my head gasket blown??? 96 civic dx

yes

 

thanks alot dude. jsut order one now.

 

Are you running an oil cooler? If that's leaking you'll get the same symptoms. Most likely it is a head gasket though.

 

no oil cooler. all stock

 

you can also change your oil and if there coolant looking **** in there its also another sign of a bhg

 

if you look at your oil cap, and it has like guuuiii stuff on it, then its your headgasket!!! choclate milk in the engine = blown headgasket!!!

$50 part.
can be an easy fix, unless you drove on it too long, and then it needs resurfacing and crap

 

Yes if you have a milkshake in your oil cap its over, or worse just water.

 

well theres only **** in the radiator. the oil cap looks fine and the oil is fine too.

 

Mine has a blown headgasket but it doesnt leak into the oil thankfully.
