I warped my head on my 89 4dr civic. I got a new and then put it on. I got in and crunk the car up. I was happy cause took a little long to get the new head. Well i forgot that the radiator hoes busted so i turned the car off put the new radiator hose on and went to crank it back up and it didnt even turn over. So i bought a new starter and still dont turn over anyone got any suggestions?? Any would be nice.

Check your grounds. Maybe one came loose... like the one to the thermostat housing... since you did replace the hose and had to put all that stuff back together... GL

so you warped your b18c head ? and you got another b18c head ?

hows the timing ?

Hybrid1990crx · #9 11-08-2005, 07:51 PM

uh, its still going to crank even if the timing is off. The start gets voltage directly from the battery, and then has its own ground. so its either in the wiring, or ignition. maybe your battery died.

i konw hte car will still crank with the timing off. im just curious as to what the timing is because he makes it sound like he did this himself

newbicivic89 · #13 11-09-2005, 07:31 AM

Hybrid1990crx · #14 11-09-2005, 12:18 PM

do your dash lights come on when you turn it over?

newbicivic89 · #15 11-09-2005, 01:07 PM
