what makes you think your headgasket is goneskies?

I'd go OEM if your HG is blown. No need for anything else IMO.

Get a pressure and compression test.

Maybe your car is just running rich.

It is normal and expected to burn massive fuel during high acceleration load..

So dont worry too much unless ur loosing water and overheating as above mentioned.

thanks heaps guysyou should find what caused the BHG before you fix it.

or else you will just get another BHG within 2 weeks.

thanks mate, ill go and get it check out and let you guys know whats going on :D

hopefully doesn't cost me too much if it was the HG......

[mocchi]

so you figured out your honda mechanic in northern suburb?

get oem, buy from US since youre not in a hurry
they cost abt $70 or $80usd exc. shipping

[CTR_EK9]

yeah probably take it to Steven msc since everyone recommended him also he seem like a nice guy/funny and honest.

one question.. whats the different between oem and aftermarket head gasket? don't aftermarket give you more compression which it's a good thing? or will it F@#$ your engine?

cheers

can you please stop posting until you have found out what's wrong with your motor and you know exactly what road you want to take in regards to modifications.

Stop posting up hypertheticals, what ifs, can i do this, that.

It's annoying.

A thinner HG will bump up your compression slightly for a very mild power gain.

BHG is often due to overheating which shags the HG. So find out what caused the shagging, de-shag it, then ask yourself if it's worth going anything other than OEM for a few killer wasps you might not even notice anyway!


Check your fan, check your thermostat, check your radiator core etc.
