My rad went in my 95 civic cx 5-spd and I think my wife cooked the engine. I'm losing antifreeze and oil, but the engine is still tight. Some white smoke out the tail pipe now and again. Compression seems low...duh. I replaced the rad and it still runs hot. Do I get someone to fix it...whatever it is...or do I drop a low mileage Jap engine in it??

have you checked the thermostat?

 

thanks for the reply...the thermostat I understand...fawk...I get...the honda tech talk...you gotta help me out! what do think the prob is ..in plain ole english?

 

if you are doing your own work, pull the head and have it checked for cracks and resurfaced

reinstall it with a new gasket, timing belt, and water pump..

my guess is that your head gasket is blown and your head is probably warped or cracked..

yeah and replace the thermostat, too
