- Mon Jul 09, 2012 11:15 am #310416 Ok so is it worth 1700 cash?

- Mon Jul 09, 2012 11:25 am #310422 And is it hard to replace the head gasket?

- Mon Jul 09, 2012 11:56 am #310425 absolutely not, IMO

if you're gonna even think about messing with the headgasket, you have no idea how long he ran it with it being bad. you might run into warped parts, damage to the internals, etc. i'd offer $1000.. that's if it's clean.

?? Radiator Fluid in the oil? It's the other way around. There is oil in the Radiator fluid... Which means a blown head gasket. It doesn't need to smoke.

- Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:43 am #310594 is it worth 1700? might be to someone who can do the work. but if you gotta send it somewhere or pay someone to have it done, you might look the other way.

is a headgasket easy to do? imo, yes. but i know how to do one. since youre asking is it easy, im willing to bet you do not.

if you're buying it as a project, then id do it. save up some cash, buy a service manual (haynes for expample) the replacement parts (advance, etc will work just fine in your case). youll for sure need a headgasket, valve cover gasket set, timing belt and water pump kit (should come with water pump w/gasket, timing belt, tensioner and spring), intake manifold gasket and exhaust manifold gasket, new cylinder head bolts (Honda/Acura part only).

Take the head to a reputable cylinder headshop to have it checked for warpage and/or any other issues.
