    1993 honda accord blown headgasket
    I change the headgasket on my 1993 honda accord and it ran great for about 6 weeks then I ran it hot so it had water in the oil so I took the new head gasket off and it looks good what do you think should I put a new one on again

    The head may have warped. I would machine the head, replace the valve guides and valve seals, install a new head gasket, torque everything to spec, and do it again. Be sure you fill your cooling system per your Owner's Manual, in order to eliminate air. You likely need to fill the radiator, until coolant comes out of the opened bleeder bolt; however, confirm this per your OM. I've seen head gaskets on Hondas blow because this was not done.

    Have a reputable machine shop, that specializes in heads, carefully inspect the head for any problems. Have them remove and clean the oil control orifice, which is sometimes hard to locate.
