Head gasket replacement.
Hello, I found a 1992 acura integra with a blown head gasket for sale very cheap. I love how the car looks and everything is fairly low mileage which is great because I will be driving it for a long time while my dsm is down. Anyway, I was wondering how difficult it is to replace the head gasket on an integra. I know that with a dsm (fairly complicated engine) that removing the timing belt is quite a task, but how hard is it on an integra. Is there much space to work with on the side of the engine to acess the tensioner? Basically I just want to know if it is possible for one with limited mechanical knowledge to replace the headgasket properly, and if not how much a shop would charge. Any and all replies are welcome. Thank you.

Re: Head gasket replacement.
with the rigth tools it would be easy if u know what you are doing and shouldnt take more than a day, as for the head gasket, on "fairly" low mileage vehicles the dont just tend to break or start leaking all of a suden, you better chec the head and the valves for any damage, cause it could be lot worse than a head gasket if it overheated.

Re: Head gasket replacement.
Yeah, I'm tending to shy away from the car now. I have no idea how the hg blew on a n/a engine without over heating. The engine has around 125,000miles so its not all that high mileage. I don't think I'm going to buy it although I really like how it looks and Accura's undisputed record for reliability. Thanks though guys.
