there seems to be oil leaking and being burnt from my head. coming from where the head and block meet, it looks like ink spread out on it and i just started smelling a slight burning oil smell. My friend told me it was a head gasket.....
- How much does a brand new headgasket for my motor cost and is it easy to do it myself? (i really have no experience with this motor stuff) *1997 Civic DX Non Vtec*
- My friend said for temporary, to use thicker oil so it doesn't leak ask bad. I dont know if he's right, but if he is, which oil is the thickest?
20w50 would be thickest thats easily available.....but try 10w30....then 10w40...and if u can find it 15w30...but go one oil change at a time...
when you go up to thicker oils, dont forget to let the car warm up completely before you do any spirited driving...
