Hi I need help. I think this is again the head gasket. I have a 1986 honda 1500 carb model code name SC9 here in South Africa. Their is oil in the radiator which let me to believe its the head gasket, and now some water, but just n little bit has shown up in the oil on the dip stick. When the car is started it doesn want to start, but after a few turns it starts and idle finw, but with lots of water exiting the exhaust when its cranked over. There is a lot of coolant loss, but the car doesnt overheat, if you drive a constant speed, but if you drive in town it starts to overheat from the frequent stop and go. I am jyst wondering if it is really the head gasket or either the intake manifold gasket. To me the symptons are drifferent that befor when the head gasket went. thanks for the help so long

 

all those symptoms are indications of a blown head gasket, all though its not everything that a blown head gasket can do, oil in the radiator and viceversa is a sure sign of a failure
