I have a honda civic 1989 120,000 miles 3dr. 1.5 std
I blew the head gasket last summer and its been sitting all winter. The head gasket was replaced 30.000 miles ago but someone messed up.
I just now got the head resurfaced and oem bolts and gasket per the tsb $200!
2 questions:
#1--
I am cleaning the old gasket material off the block
And inevitably some has fallen into the coolant jacket and oil passages
That surround the cylinder as well as some dirt - working outside.
- I haven't drained the coolant from the block yet or drained the oil.
How do I clean out oil and coolant passages in block?? Also the coolant and oil that has
Dripped into the head bolt passages which will throw off torque specs??
#2 --
Manual recommends the removal of the oil control jet from between cylanders two and three and the replacement of its' o-ring
How do I do this?? Is it necassarry? What are the ramifications of this nozzle being clogged? Will oil no longer be able to lubricatge partular areas of the engine?
Than you.
