This is actually helpful since im having the same problem only difference is that my car actually shot up to the point where it over heated and next thing i knew i heard a pop from the water pump and lost all power to engine.. so im actually following your video step by step to see if its fixable.. since every mechanic i talk to want to charge me a whole new engine and labor with out even diagnosing the problem first
When you took off the head bolts from i side the cylinder block did it have cap looking things ok them because mine looks like they have covers asking because i cant access those screws.. any tips??

No covers as far as I recall, just normal bolts
It is only two bolts holding the power steering hose on and tension clamp. Remove the power steering pump would help make work easier.
Yep that's true
That K&N oil filter looks like it’s got tens of thousands of miles on it.
It's possible for sure
Beautiful work
Did you do or check valve lash when taking the heads off?
Yes, I belive I set the valve lash on the bench (heads off), but certainly doable in the car
I had 1 bolt that came out with more oil then the rest does that mean the block is cracked? The car ran on H but never died out.
Sorry I'm just seeing this. I would not be concerned about that. Definitely get the heads resurfaced given it was overheating
Were is your shop located?

@@NotEnoughProjects just right in time - my 02 Acura type S has same fate - im hoping noting really serious in the engine .
Sorry to hear that, hope you get away easy like this one!
Why don't you cover the fenders and the other working areas? I know it an old car but still should take care of it.
You're right, should have.
