ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

        drain the oil from your engine to see if it's like chocolate milk.

              Yep, sounds like your head gasket is shot. And like they've said, when you drain your oil, if it looks like chocolate milk, it's the head gasket. A compression test might also let ya know if it's the head gasket.

                  depends on who does the work, probably no more than 250 bucks in parts if you do it yourself but probably ~1000+ if done by a dealership

                  if you're tight on money, i'd probably see if there are any local members that could help, just promise them food and drinks and throw a little money there way

                        On a side note, if you decide to tackle this, you might check out the condition of the timing belt, if it looks worn, I'd change that and the water pump.

                            i wouldn't be too cheap when it comes to critical parts like the water pump, timing belt and the head gasket. Honda Genuine parts are what i'd use BUT, if this is your only car and money is tight, "Fel pro" would be the the cheapest i'd get without sacraficing too much on quality.

                              Yes I understand but I'm just asking;
                              Is that what I have to get or something like that
