hello honda tech, posting this thread up for an issuse my brothers been having with his car. his water pump blew and car over heated im guessing ( i wouldnt know for sure, i wasnt with him when it occured.) he got it replaced by some backyard mechanic and it still over heats. he changed the thermostat and some hoses cause it kept over heating. after that was done the car shakes pretty bad when starting up and when it heats up it doesnt wanna turn on. the car still over heats from time to time now but seems to run fine.

any tips or info would help, im honestly outta ideas..im thinking they might've ****ed up his timing or he couldve warped his head.

heres a video of it trying to be started up once its heated up and ran for a while.

sorry about that, thanks for the help

 

You may have the timing issue correct, at least that's how it sounds.

 

thanks... can anyone 2nd this?

 

sounds correct to me

 

thanks,

 

check the spark plugs. see if any are cleaner then the other. doyou have to refill the radiator alot? you may have a blown head gasket. i rarely see hondas have overheating issues with not having head gasket problems.

 

i asked him to check if theres any antifreeze mixed with the oil. is there any other ways to check if the headgaskets bad?

 

i had the same issue. as the car heats up,and pressurizes the cooling sys. the water would leak inti #2 cylinder and start missing. until it got really bad is when oil in the water, and water in my oil. i change everythingg too. radiator, w/p, cap, thermo and it was the head gasket the whole time. good luck mayne

 

thanks man, I'll tell him to change it anyways
