vtec2011 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think 14" BBS style wheels suit decks quite well with a bit of poke UPDATE!! And a good one too! Fitted an 4-2-1 Japspeed manifold yesterday which I'm "borrowing" from a mate whilst his Civic goes through the MOT with a cat. Hopefully I can persuade him to sell it to me as it sounds AMAZING! Sounds like a proper Honda! But unfortunately she has been overheating in the last couple weeks. Before you ask me what I have done to diagnose this, I have literally done everything. Checked fan (fan is constantly on, new thermostat, bled the cooling system numerous of times, done a coolant flush, compression test, checked everything over... you name it. So the only thing I can think of is the head-gasket is on it's way out. Going to order a new head-gasket tomorrow along with replacing the valve-stem oil seals. Plus a head-skim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Dam thats a shame about the gasket but that mani is nice buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Have you checked the oil for the tell tale sign of mayo? What's the coolant level like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Have you checked the oil for the tell tale sign of mayo? What's the coolant level like? Checked oil (very clean as a full service recently been done) and it's not losing any coolant. Basically what is happening, exhaust gases is getting pass the head-gasket and into the cooling system / water ways. This is why I have to keep bleeding the cooling system as it keeps getting trapped air. But the coolant haven't got enough pressure to get through the gasket and into the bores. This is the reason why there is no water and oil mixing. Hope that makes sense haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammarbm Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Nice manifold mate..I just sold a similar one from my MB2.. Sorry to hear about the head gasket..

noodels Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 ^^+1 with combustion leak tester first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Bad luck dude! Luckily these D15Z8s can take tonnes of abuse before they die. It'll be healthy again in no time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
