i overheated, all my coolant came out, and i had to drive and stop and drive to get home. now i have white smoke coming out of my exhaust. Just got my new OEM headgasket in today and i am going to be doing it myself. Its a b16a but i am worried about my timing after i put it back together. any tips? does anybody have a write up for a b16? thanks

 

google it

 

i have been looking everywhere. half my sensors are already unplugged. i found a d-series write up. but i heard on a b-series you have to pull your cams. i really need to get this car back up and running its my only form of transportation. i have to take my moms car and its getting annoying. i miss my vtec already =[.

 

go here and make an account takes like 2 min to make then download the manual

and you will reset all of your timing anyway when you replace the head gasket. read the shop manual and you will learn a lot. and make sure you have good enough tools for the job when you change the gasket. you will need a good 1/2" drive ratchet/breaker bar with a 14mm socket (i think 6 point) for the head bolts if you want to make the job fast.

 

that website is down...do you have a link?

 

Plan at least double the time you expect to use, something will go wrong as always when working on cars.

 

the site is up and running i was just there did you click the link i posted?

 

ahh i see there bandwith crap lol
go here

yes, it said manuals are not available because of bandwith issues. i tried again and it worked this time. should i use the manual for a 2000 civic Si?

 

yep

 

You may want to consider getting a new thermostat while you are at it.
It's common for the thermostat to get damaged internally after overheating.

 

if you can find it online, its a vtec supplement manual for 90 crx with b16a. that one will be extremely close to your car, and therefore is the most helpful.

edit: it may be at this site, but my internet is slower than snails so i cant confirm right now
