I recently change the head gasket and hoses my car still seems to over heat any

Is an old Honda 91 accord I changed the head gasket and spark plugs and some hoses the car was overheating prior to this now the new head gasket is installed and the hoses and spark plugs and is still over heating

Just a few questions. Did you have the head crack tested, change the thermostat, flush the radiator out? Is the fan working on the radiator?

You could have not followed the head bolt torquing sequence correctly, the head could have been damaged or warped when the engine over heated.

It's probably the radiator.

Have you checked the radiator or thermostat?

Water pump. Fan. Radiator. Belts.

Dis you have the cylinder heads checked for flatness at an automotive engine machine shop and machined flat if they were not flat? Did you apply Teflon thread sealer before torquing the heads down?

  • Would it be, a bad idea for me to try and fix a blown head gasket? Its for a honda. Stock d16 aftermarket rims and is 1500 with a blown head gasket. My dad is the best honda mechanic in my town. He would be guiding me through it. Also the car had 137k miles and good paint. How much would it be worth if it was fixed?
  • Why does my car over heat? I have a 2002 Honda civic ex I have had the radiator, water pump, timing chain, and thermostat replaced in it recently. However when ever I drive it over 50 mph it starts to over heat and water is spraying out of the radiator through the top were cap is at. I can drive it all day under 50 mph and it is fine so does anyone have any ideas to why my car is doing this?
  • Why does my 94 honda civic over heat but the oil light comes on there's no leaks any where? My radiator over heats the hoes swells but there's no leaks no smoke coming from anywhere the water in the radiator bubbles up when I take the cap off I even put some stuff in it to help cool it down didn't work. I checked the oil looks fine no werid color to it at all. Its no really over heating the engine is hotter then what its suppose to be
