Head Gasket
My son has a 2001 Integra Ls.He overheated it the other day and said it got into the red on the guage.He let it cool down and drove it home.Put some antifreeze in it and the next morning drove it to school with no problems.
The following day was real cold about 20.It wouldnt start ,I pulled a compression check and they were about 125 in each cyl.I changed out the plugs and did get it running. He has been driving it but said it will overheat on him if he gets into it.He has a turbo on this.Its only overheating if he gets into it but it's 10 degrees out now.Said he thinks it will overheat always when it warms up. WE changed the oil, antifreeze is good.I think the head gasket is blown but dont know why it doesnt overheat all the time.There is no water in the oil . Hate to break it down and put a head gasket on if that isnt the problem. |

Re: Head Gasket
check your oil and see if it has a milky look to it? if it has could be head gasket and anitfrezze if fowling out the plugs take one out see if it's wet with gas and anti frerezze. if theres oil on them souds like you need new rings or maybe valve seals. that smell you smell i'm leaning torward head gasket and maybe head. i doubt egr valve.
