how hard is it to repair a head gasket for a 89 civic si?

and how much does it cost?

 

replace it don't fix it

 

Actually it's easy....what I do is wrap the bad gasket in duct tape, then proceed to cut out four random holes for my cylinders. Then I cut a few smaller ones out for coolant n' ****. Reassemble and you are done my friend! Or you have the option of buying a new one, but that's just a waste of money when you have duct tape on your team. BTW is is a joke.

 

yes just replace it

 

replace thats what i meant. but nvm u guys are of no help.

 

The head gasket is not that expensive. To replace it is not that hard, unless you are not familar with cars. I highly suggest getting a shop manual for you car and reading before you attempt this.

 

its not hard to do..it will just take a while and you probably have someone help you and like someone already said get a repair manual for your car,everyone should have one..your gonna have to take the crank pulley off to get the timing belt off i think(not sure what motor you have)and thats gonna be fun,hehe..good luck

 

get a manuel and follow the steps. you should be able to do it no problem..

 

thanks to all u who replyed with useful info.
