if it didnt get ran so hot til it shut off doing the headgasket should be fine. ive seen ppl drive cars/trucks til it looses power and just say it ran hot. civics are pretty tough though bc i melted a pisto and blew a headgasket. put one piston in it and siliconed the headgasket on (bc the metal was seperating form the aluminum on the sleeves) and kept driving. when i finally took it out it was still running. made 50 whp on the dyno and rated at 70 from the factory. lmao!!!

besides, u can find enigines next to the candy all day at quicktrip.
