Great job! Doing an head gasket job on my 1991 Jaguar XJ6 at the moment. The exhaust has a sweet sweet smell and the coolant was turning very quickly dark green, due to exhaust smoke. It's not too bad a the moment, and that's why I'm doing it before big expensive issues comes!

Made out of 3 Honda Civics welded together by Ray Charles using his feet. That’s one of those lines that just keeps getting funnier the longer it goes. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I blame Mike Finnegan.

🤞I hope you’re correct! Some engine/head gaskets are more tolerant of moderate overheating, but I have no clue how the Honda’s are, best of luck! Oh ya, don’t forget about the Murphy factor!🤔🤨

I have a pressure tester with about every fitting known to man. The kit seconds as a vacuum filler. It was wet worth the $ I paid for it. 5 minutes with that and the leak point is found.

We've had a couple used Hondas for the kiddies. I no expert on them but we were told to replace the timing belt and water pump and they will run forever. Since they wanted to drive them more quickly than my free time auto repair would allow, we had it done and they both ran very well until the kiddies crashed them. Oh well, maybe it is a water pump? Probably not going by the subtle hints.

G'day mate!

I had a 318 dodge truck,with a very slow antifreeze leak, could not find it,headed out to B.C. in January 2000 to work on the skytrain,found it in minus 40 degree weather in Northern Ontario, frost plug in between the engine and trans was the problem, got more antifreeze and kept going, made it to Vancouver, fixed it in June, no more leak! Just a pinhole, coolant would dry before it would get to the bottom of the engine, that's why I couldn't find it, grrrrrrrr!

I had an older Civic when I first started teaching, where there was a wee pinhole in the rad, peeing onto the exhaust manifold. Again, took forever to find it.

I bought a 2003 toyota camry recently, and the check engine light was on. Ran the code, which said "Engine running below normal temperature." The guy I bought the car from said it had been having overheating issues before HE bought the car. The person he bought the car from supposedly put in a "high flow thermostat. Well, I got the car home and took the thermostat out, only to find it was just the thermostat head. The entire mechanism had been cut off so it was constantly open. I'd be willing to bet that the "overheating issues" was because the thermostat wasn't opening like it should, and instead of spending $14 on a new thermostat they just cut the mechanism off and called it good.

You'll probably get better fuel economy now, too!

What a headache, man. Sigh....

Canadian Tire has a "loan a tool" program.

@@GregWellwoodI am looking to get a "Turbocharger System Leakage Tester" like the one that is on sale and unavailable at Princess Auto. It looks more versatile for testing a range of cooling systems

😂😂😂 no roadside cooling system fix is never successful if no piss was used...😂😂😂,

I'm gonna guess it's the head gasket. Just a hunch.

There mighta been some clues in the captions, but they were subtle, so only the most observant watchers might have picked up on them.
