Prelude head gasket, tackling a big project...
Hi, I just had the unpleasent experience of buying a car on ebay, and
finding out it needs some work. I bought a 1990 honda prelude si and after noticing it overheating, found I need to replace the head gasket (revving the engine with the radiator cap off made water bubble out). I just bought a head gasket set along with a timing belt and will be doing my first major car repair myself (no real automotive experience). Do I need to buy a cam-lock tool, or will borrowing one from autozone be good enough? Should I get new head bolts? If so, What brand/where? I bought a manual, and was just wondering if anyone had any tips on tools I will need, problems I will encounter, etc. I want to tackle this project as a learning experience. Thanks in advance for your advice/suggestions! -fuzzy |

If you bought it off ebay it should have a 1 month/1000k powertrain
warranty, or my Tundra I bought did with over a 100k miles. However, every problem I had was NOT a engine problem. No more ebay for me unless it still has the 3/36 warranty. |
