I too picked up a 99 civic with a d16y7 auto for a blazing steal as well for $1000, 166k on the odometer. Drove it for a little while and found head gasket was going out. Tried the blue devil head gasket sealer just for giggles to see if it even worked before pulling it apart, and to my disbelief it actually kinda worked, no more overheating and cooling system stopped endlessly bubbling. After a few days, the water pump blew out so I pulled it all apart to do head gasket, water pump, timing belt and tensioner. Found that previous owner RECENTLY replaced the pump timing belt and tensioner with a $35 china kit off amazon😂 felt weird pulling off a bad water pump that still looked brand new and clean. Keep up with the good work! One of the absolute best Honda channels on TH-cam!
Your water pump blew because you used the whole bottle. If it's just using a little water every few days or weeks you only need half the bottle. If it's BLOWN BLOWN, then the whole bottle. Info for next time
Right on brother, do it for fun sometimes 😮💨😮💨 thanks again for all of your shared knowledge, because of you my tunes have one a couple IFO 2 steps lol God bless bro 👊🏽
I used blue devil on a Subaru I was buying with a blown head gasket and I bought the entire gasket kit with the timing kit and I’ve only done the timing kit going on 4 years later 😂😂
That car definitely got extremely hot! Melted spark cables and part of the timing cover melted! That engine is miraculously alive! all thanks to that heater hose that broke... It's incredible that he's alive!
Definitely melted timing cover. See it in junkyard Ds all the time lol. Thats prolly what was holding the head onto the car earlier, the inner plastic cover that bolts directly to the head melts when they get hot then just molds itself around everything and holds the head on. Can be super annoying. lol. 100% timing cover my brother!
My first car was a 00 silver coupe auto manual windows with a 6 disk cd player and tape player. I regret selling it. At the time it took me 4 months to sell it. Body was decent but should’ve kept it. Sold it for 1500 in 2019. The guy I sold it to still has. Maybe a reunification will happen someday.
Iv heard of the timing covers melting when they get to hot before i also wonfer if somthing happend like a fan sencor or thermostat and the engine overheated once and warped the deck
You have a lift? I need to take a look or have someone look at my suspension and steering. I'm outside of Sheboygan. You're out of Appleton or Oshkosh area right?
My bet is the head is warped and wont seal and it will blow another gasket in the same area without at least a head mill...maybe a block deck too. I guess we'll see 😁
Hell yeah that sealer work that's cool as fuck Bro I got mine running yesterday I know you don't remote tuned but can you recommend me one ? Also I bought a similar civic but mines it's Automatic that's sucks
It deserves a drop in KNN. L O L. Unless you do the trick with the pipe going down so it’s getting cold there. I never seen the glue trick before that’s crazy. I would never do something to my car like that.P

If you follow the directions on Blue Devil bottle it does actually work in mild cases.

Timing cover piece that is bolted to the side of cylinder head, those melt often, sign that engine overheated at one point

My radiator 9n my Fire Bird🔥 🐦 busted on my once, and I used 3 tubes of BAR-S seal to get home. I never replaced the radiator.
Another great vid my man!
P.S - be sure to always rock that seat belt, you got your lil guy to think of now.
Cheers.

887th from the UK.
Definitely a good result with the head gasket in a bottle.
I hope the block isn't warped.
Hey Kristine.
Picked up a 96 ek coupe ex with bad head gasket last year for 600 such a steal!!
Definitely melted timing cover. See it in junkyard Ds all the time lol.

Nice. I was interested in how this was holding up!
That thing looked like it was just an improperly torqued head
I don't use a torque wrench for hardly anything but installing a head lol well I bust out the torque wrench and the tightening pattern
