And if you don't shave it there is a chance that since it was overheated so badly, that it could be warped.

where are you located?

you can do it your self...i wouldn't reuse the oem headstuds and get a head gasket from honda....or you can pay 600+ for someone else to do it....get it resurfaced and if it got really hot i would do a pressure check at the machine shop before they resurface it..also check the deck for uneven surface.....if bad get it decked...no shortcuts= no headaches

get that head checked before u replace it.. like E said! and find out y it overheated int he first place..

[H1Cblacknight]

Pressure check that head! Better safe than sorry!

[Barefoot]

have u done anything to confirm is that head gasket.

ok, well i tested the radiator and everything. and everything seems to be fine. new thermostat and everything. also, if i were to get my head change and pressure and shave the head. it would be around $500-600. also, if they shave the block, wouldn't it cost a lil bit more?

[BAC]

so than im better of getting a new head, and block right?


to shave the block you would have to remove it from the car and tear it down to bare block... then have it put together... and while you have it torn down might as well have the crank looked at and balanced... have new bearings sized and put in. while you have everything out. but then again while you have all that done.. .might as well order some high or low compression pistons for boost or NA... and some rods. i heard eagle rods are nice cheap and reliable..... lol and then might as well get some ARP head studs for 100 or so... and a quality aftermarket head gasket for that boost or NA motor you just built.. then there is a whole other thread for head work... lol

so than im better of getting a new head, and block right?pretty much if most people if they warp the block they just replace the longblock. unless there have a really good reason for a complete rebuild.

yea just get a new long block, and swap it in. i think that would b much easier

[BAC]

aigh. if anybody knoes a B20 that's for sale. LMK!!!!

[BAC]

will a LS head bolt onto a B20 block., also will it run good?

[j0nbunklah0m]

pm silversol, i think he had a really cheap LS longblock.

heads are the same on the b20 and ls but the IM's r different. so ya it will work.... find somebody with a vtec head and go ahead and to a CR-Vtec

[dallasb84]

i got dibs on his motor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you end up sellin it ill buy it.....

heres the deal....

THE QUESTION IS......how hot did you run it and for how long.

honestly your prolly ok with changing the gasket if it just blew....

now if youve been driving it and runnin around town. overheating it over and over again. thats a different story.

once i was driving through new jersey and my thermostat stuck. it overheated so bad the car cut off.....

the damn radiator popped on the side of the road when i pulled over...... i thought my shit was pushed in 10 hours from home. lol. well i changed the radiator. and kept the water full. never overheated but my hg was deffinately blown.

i replaced the gasket and never had a problem again.

its up to you. a machinist can check your head in minutes and tell you if its warped.

VTAK!!!!

[j0natell0]

[Barefoot]

hm.. so u ur looking for a b20 eh? i got one for u..i told him to hit u up long ago

[SPOOLIN]

you have a better chance of warping your wheels before warping the block from overheating from a head gasket, the heads are what really like to twist under bad conditions.
