I have a jdm b18c in my eg. i have been losing coolant out of the resevoir and i dont know where its going, but today i noticed that there was some moisture near the head gasket where the serials are (right underneath the vtec solenoid). However i dont have any air bubbles blowing into my coolant resevoir and i am not overheating, also when i dropped the motor in we did a compression check and all cylinders were pretty healthy. Is it possible the head my just need to be retorqued down. I bought the swap from hmotorsonline, and its about a month old. I have replaced the clutch and flywheel, axles, injectors. Not so good for 3,500 dollars but wtf. So anyway any input

 

anyone????????///

 

good question,i dunno..i would just keep checking the coolant level and make sure you dont overheat

 

I'm replacing my head gasket right now because of this. I was pushing coolant out of the reservoir tank. It got worse over time and it started to overheat. It had me stumped for a while until I pulled the timing cover off to find coolant seeping out of the head gasket. I could see it bubble while the engine was running at that spot. Compression #’s and leak down test were all good with no bubbles in the radiator. I guess when it pushed enough coolant out of the reservoir tank it would start to overheat and then it would start to drop that cylinder. Tried to torque the bolts again, but no luck. I would replace the gasket and have the head resurfaced. Just dropped my head off today at the machine shop. Hope this helps and good luck.

 

ok only things i have watched the tank exsessively and i def. doesnt overflow and i have no bubbles or pressure in that tank
