I remember that time ........ heheh

In my case, the water level in the reservoir tank did not go up and down, instead it went up and tendang it outside the reservoir tank hehehehe ....... due to burnt head gasket.....huaaaaa hua hhua hua hua.

It's very rare and hard to get the head gasket burnt, unless u had an overheating problem before due to your own negligence (like in my case hahaha), problem with water pump or leaking hose. In any case, watch your temperature at all times hehe

dun go and simply change headgasket if got overheating problem. That's usually the last resort. Check and confirm first........

it can.

 

[crower75]

if skim sideways can laaa ... if potong from top to bottom cannot laa heheh

 

[shiroitenshi]

skim head possible, and increase compression.. if already at limit, then use thick gasketlah.. or double layer.

Got side effect also, something about the valve shroud effect/airflow through valve.. but I'm not that knowledgable about things like that.

 

[Stormrider]

i also done that but still the problem persist............
just waste a money......

 

[crower75]

also aa...check your thermostat and auto fan switch (located below the VTEC solenoid). Not ori fan switch sumtimes will not ngam with the thermostat....it happened to me oso. Rite after I did skimming and change headgasket. Ori fan switch I think will cost nearly or slightly RM100.
