    why did it overheat the first time? address that problem first. Fix it then throw a head gasket on it. if the plastic timing covers are melted then goddamn she cooked that motor! my sis did the same thing to her single cam because the cooling fan fuse blew and she roasted it. i replaced the fuse replaced the head gasket and when i went to torque the head back down all the head bolt threads were strippin.. i guess it got cooked so bad it soften the metal or something. ended up getting another block. overheating issues is the worst for hondas because of the aluminum casting. if im wrong plz guys shed some light

    Man thats crazy.. maybe 1 or 2 of the headgasket jobs ive done had the bolts seize up/strip out..

    If you had any cracked block issues youd probably notice the coolant looking like brown pudding. The 98-02 4 cyl. Accords are notorious for this ish.

    Are you fixing it or is a shop?

    inserts will work. ive never tried them i just try to locate another block. are those heli coils solid or are they like a spring type deal? as long as they hold up to 50ftlbs do it. will save you money
