Bubbles in coolant, overheating. 320,000 miles.

Would like to be able to replace head gasket without having to get the head milled. If that's a really bad idea, please let me know.

I would like to know if the FelPro gaskets are OK or should I look at something else. Here are the choices from Rock Auto:

1989 HONDA CIVIC DX Cylinder Head Gasket


Are "Head Shims" required if I must get the head milled?

1989 HONDA CIVIC DX Cylinder Head Spacer Shim

Thanks for the help:

John

 

If its been overheated the engine is probably toast. I can pretty well guarantee you that its going to burn oil and the headgasket will fail again prematurely. Pick up a low mileage JDM replacement engine and save yourself a huge headache.
