This depends on the make model and year of the car
Replacing a head gasket on a 1.5 liter Honda Civic requires removal of many of the engines components such as the intake manifold, valve cover, and timing belt. After removing the head from the engine it needs to be resurfaced. Replace the old head gasket and machined head onto the block and reinstall all the other components.
the library should have a shop manual for this vehicle, you can make copies of the right sections :)
It is between the head assembly and the engine block. You have to take off the top part of the engine to get to it. it is really time consuming to replace.
Replace the head gasket for sure. That is assuming you did not continue to drive the vehicle until you destroyed the engine internally.
No. You can have the head gasket replaced. This is unless you kept driving the car with a blown head gasket and have totally destroyed the engine.
You can change a head gasket if that is all that is wrong.
Head gaskets do not go bad on these. You need to replace the plastic upper intake manifold as it is leaking coolant into the combustion chamber. Common problem for this engine.
YES! Replace the head gasket or destroy the engine if you continue to drive it.
Remove the cylinder heads from your Chevy engine. Remove the head gasket and clean the head gasket surface. Put the new head gasket on and reverse the process.
If you remove the head then of course you replace the head gasket.Where can you get sodium silicate to fix a blown head gasket?Know that adding sodium silicate to an engine is only a temporary fix for a blown head gasket and will not permantly fix the problem. The only permanent fix is to replace the head gasket. I would never add any head gasket fix material to any engine.
Engine will possibly overheat, coolant will mix with the oil, and eventually destroy the engine. You must replace a cracked head gasket.
Take it to a mechanic nobody can tell you how to replace a head gasket over answers.com it requires someone who knows how to rebuild engines when a head gasket blows it requires the engine to be disassembled and rebuilt.
