Re-Thread of - Urgentay Fuel Injectors (Accord Section)

[Riviera]

A while back i had problems with my engine cylinders were not firing properly and just injectors were not operating, i started a thread in the accord section for it and only ecu-man offered assistance, then i told a mate about it he mentioned maybe a head gasket... then i told him it almost over heated a while back and again said head gasket told my dad hes like yea maybe it did over heat so we took the head off yesterday what a beautiful sight to see

Story =
Driving to work one morning a hose blew, pulled over looked under the bonnet waited for it to cool down sliced the hose off and re-attached the hosethe one that attaches directly to the head, kept driving had to stop again because it was over heating, topped up the water and eased off to work that weekend repalced the hoses and replaced the radiator fluid. a mere while after that, started having firing troubles this has been occuring for quite some time fair few months but now it must end, if this doesnt fix it then its all over for the cord hes going to the wreckers if i get it running schmick after hes going to the panel beaters....

and thats all i have to say about that...
so must take the head to get re-surfaced

and ima tidy up the block in the meantime get a new car lol

You can get a chemical solvent that will eat away the baked on head gasket without damaging the block and you can use like a plastic spatula to scrape it away...

Probably pay to pressure test the cylinder head now, but yeah doesn't look good

Intake manifolds are rarely squeaky clean, but worthwhile cleaning it now that the head is off

[didz]

looks pretty horid man..

this will fix that VERY EASILY:

*******************************
NEO Keep Cool 500ml

~ Lowers Operating Temperatures Up To 10 Degrees C.
~ Prevents electrolysis
~ Prevents cavitation, rust and corrosion
~ Harmless to paint and metals
~ Prevents deposit formation
~ Mixes with water or antifreeze
~ Improves heat transfer
~ Contains no chromate, phosphate, borate, soluble oil or heavy metals
~ Keeps thermostats free from build-up corrosion, rust and gumming
~ Does not increase viscosity of water
~ Compatible with all types of radiators

Initial Dosage - Add 110ml of Keep Cool per 20 litres
Racing Maintenance Dosage - Use colour strength-indicator which, fades out as Keep Cool additive is used up. Add 55ml per 20 litres
General Maintenance Dosage - Add 55ml of Keep Cool per 20 litres for preventative maintenance every 4 months or 9,000km, after the cleaning action from the initial dose

NEO Keep Cool goes into a system, softens the deposits and then breaks them down by the molecule -- as small as that -- and deforms their natural crystal shape so that they can not recombine and form solids, and holds them in a soft harmless suspension in the water. NEO Keep Cool has an initial cleaning action which is done slowly (90% in 10 days) and safely so as not to disturb the deposits in chunks which could block small passages.

Advantages

Eventually this cleaning action arrives at the metals, and here it stops because the product is harmless to all metals (including aluminum) and materials in cooling systems. NEO Keep Cool puts an organic barrier on the surfaces that prevents combining with oxygen. It also contains a surfactant: this is a surface-tension breaker which produces improved heat transfer, and is also a preservative.

NEO Keep Cool is compatible with all antifreezes and is superior to water filters and all other water treatments because it provides a complete protection against all the maladies of water systems. NEO Keep Cool is all-organic and bio-degradable, and has passed the government safety tests for human handling so if it gets on skin or in the eyes or mouth, it is non-toxic and non-injurious.

NEO Keep Cool is harmless to paint and metals in the atmosphere. Hard and damaging deposits do not form at water pump glands or other leak points, should they occur.

NEO Keep Cool also has a built-in color strength-indicator and when mixed with water, it becomes milky pink. The pink fades out as the inhibitor is used up. When the pink is nearly gone, add half a dose to maintain safe conditions. When NEO Keep Cool is mixed with antifreeze solution it becomes a milky-whatever-color the antifreeze is, and the milkiness gets weaker as the inhibitor strength becomes depleted. When the milkiness is at half-density, add half a dose to regain safe conditions.

NEO Keep Cool can be used with any water filter, though a chemically charged filter is unnecessary. The old filter may be left in circuit if the system had one before using Keep Cool: it will help to filter out the removed deposits. A system with Keep Cool need not be drained because the suspended contaminants are rendered harmless. However, if the contamination is so heavy (due to the state of the system before the Keep Cool cleaning action) that the color strength indicator cannot be observed, then the system should be drained and flushed and retreated with Keep Cool. A system with expensive antifreeze can be allowed to remain unflushed until spring, provided that more Keep Cool is added to ensure safe conditions from corrosion, electrolysis and deposits.

Should probably fix the problem properly rather than trying to mask it up with additives...

Remember kids say no to drugs!

You seem pretty confident about this Neo Keep Cool might give it a whirl.

heres some pictures from today after tidying the block up a little bit got some more tidying but save that for next weekend, dad pulled the head aparat all the valves out and ish, stem seals definatly needed replacing luckily the head gasket kit i got has all gaskets and seals needed for the process of removing the head.

wont be using neo cool to fix this problem, i will be fixing this problem properly no doubt lol. gunna get the head resurfaced on tuesday i hope. but might try out that neo cool after dunno see what happens think i got some radiator jizz in the garage..

The pistons should not be at TDC when you are cleaning the surface of the block, just 1mm lower or so so that you don't scratch the pistons

[ECU-MAN]

looking good,

do not clean the head and take the old head gasket with you to the head repair place. they will be able to pin point the location of failure.

irts normal for the head gasket to block ( cover ) some of the water jackets.

get your head machined, and if you have the spare $$, have the valves reseated. make sure they replace the valve steam seals ( come with the VRS KIT ) change the timing belt as well

makes a difference in the way the car runs.

so far so good.

[Drew]

Oh also you need compressed air to spray the crap out from the gap between the pistons and the cylinder walls otherwise any crap will scratch the cylinder walls and possibly damage the rings

[ECU-MAN]

and out of the intake manifold

[Riviera]

water jackets thats the term i was after :thumbsup:

yea my dad knows all about it hes a mechanic, told me to stay away from the bore and to think i was buzzing so close lol.

i'll see what i can do about re-seating

might have to borrow a mates air-comp i aint got one, and aint towing the car too one, might check out supersheep auto.

[Riviera]

hey yea ding dong update wats this business lol looks like the oils baked itself inside the head thats the exhaust side so i guess when the cars been running its all hot then ive stopped and theres oil just sitting there day in day out

between cylinder 2 and 3 the gasket had started burning into the head thats why i was having engine trouble before she warmed up... there were also fine cracks in that gap so he had to weld it up and do what he had to do.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u148/Riviera001/Picture200.jpg


valves reseated, and exhaust guides had to be sleeves again. looked like it had been done before. and yea shes all set to go but will go over the block and tiidy that up some more before we put this back on and ahh yea thats the end of todays chapter...
