oil

my zc is leaking oil from the head gasket....not a big job, but wut is a good price point...that i should be willing to pay...

also, my civic is overheating again...i spent 200 dolalrs a few months ago to fix the thermostat and fan...and the entire time it was a bad ircuit...now its happened again..the fan has stopped moving...i'm guessing its the circuit again...do u think i should complain to gilman auto and get it done for free...

I would......if they "fixed it" the first time, and the same prob came back, I'd tell them to fix it again.

This is why every single person that owns a Honda Civic, should get this book.

Has alot of helpful info in it, and for around $20, it's cheaper than getting a mechanic fix something that you'd be able to do yourself. It's saved me loads of cash.

I use Chilton manuals.... $17 at walmart.

Dude, if you head gasket is blown, and your overheating... then your head gasket is causing the other... I just spent a week replacing the head gasket on a Neon, and the main symptom was overheating and milky coolant. The head gasket was shitty... We replaced it, and then it started leaking oil more than before... the head was milled, so the block is likely warped. We tore it apart again to double check our work It's about an 8 hour job with hand tools and an amateur behind the tools
