first of all, impressive repair work
used cars are still pulling crazy values. sell it off at webuyanycar.com or carmax. copart will give you no money. your catalytic converter is an $800 sales credit by itself.
good friend john did a head gasket in my crx. i helped (mostly watched to learn...i would tackle that myself next time). but most head gasket jobs SUCK to even attempt.
village crew, i'll throw this out there...put a can of bar's leak head gasket fix in it.
it's hit or miss. laugh all you want: i've put this into a 2005 civic, and it
didn't work at all. but, i ended up selling that car for more than i paid for it.
i put this in a 2001 honda accord 4 banger that i grabbed from an auction. holy crap, it worked. and it didn't just "work". my wife drove that car after the bar's leak, and we
put 200,000+ miles on it AFTER the bar's leak.
it's pretty cheap at walmart (@ $26 bucks).
if you are losing coolant out of the exhaust, this stuff has a chance. if you have bubbles coming out where your radiator fill cap is located, less likely for success, but can still seal the issues.
yes, it can block other thing you don't want it to, like tiny coolant hoses, the radiator, the water pump, other passages...but hey...damm car doesn't drive for more than 10 minutes now, so who cares?
there's no such thing as a pour-in fix. maybe i got lucky...3 times, 3 different vehicles. counter argument...i've put it in 3 other vehicles, no dice.
it's the 1 in the picture. they have other versions, they are trash.
