You need to do a "compression test" to see if the head gasket is still good.
The tragic part of this posting is that you think what you wrote is in English. "els?" What is "els?" Honda Accord happen to be proper names. "vetch": is incorrect. "i'm" does not exist in English. "radiator" is not a work. "i" is a letter of the alphabet and not a word. Throttle body. Two words not one. You say this friend "put war on the radiator?" "War" into a radiator? There are no sentences and punctuation is horrible. And you are asking invisible people to diagnose a mechanical issue with this car? What else could I possibly say?
You need to have an inexpensive *cooling system pressure test done at the dealer of the car. This test will find any external or internal cooling system leaks.
Don, t run all the words together! If it, s coming from the radiator then it, s steam! If your car is overheating then it might be the thermostat or the head gasket blew! If your antifreeze keeps going low then you either have a leak or the engine is burning the antifreeze!
- Why is my Honda CB250 motorbike spewing out so much smoke? When I run my bike it gives off a lot of smoke when riding and at the lights. As far as I can tell it runs fine, but just smokes a lot. It was so bad tonight that the taxi behind me was pretty much engulfed by smoke, so much so I was worried if he could see the road properly or not. I of tern take it on longish distances (over an hour of riding at about 90ks an hour (56 miles. Could that have damaged it ( I know its not exactly designed for that)
- Mechanic said he rebuilt the engine, smoke coming out of engine, could it be the grease burning off? The mechanic said he rebuilt the engine to my 1974 Honda CB550 I bought from him. Said he rebuilt the engine and is in perfect running condition. He has many bikes lying around and seems as if he is a hobbyist for bikes. He told me that he basically greased up a lot of parts of the motor and it is burning the grease off. The next oil change I do should remove the excess grease.
- Whys is my car blowing out smoke? I replaced the engine on the car about 5 month ago and recently is blowing out white smoke? It's a 1997 honda civic ex It doesn't leak
- Why could my 2000 Honda Civic show it's going to overheat I have coolant a new radiator a new radiator cap a new temp gauge switch and? A new thermostat head gasket is fine could it just need to flushed and a new water pump and timing belt
