NO, a head gasket job is NOT something a novice home mechanic should attempt.
DO get a price estimate from a local repair shop, on a 95 Accord it may not be worth the cost of the repair especially of the head(s) needs work or repair.
If in doubt take it to a mechanic. You need a good set of sockets, a torque wrench and some expertise together with a Haynes manual. It's not a job for an inexperienced DIYer.
I did this on an 81 civic after the timing belt broke and bent all the valves ( a little more complicated) I have a pretty well equipped shop and am no DIY Novice but not a mechanic by profession either - it was not difficult but you will need a HONDA service manual (Haynes I use in the outhouse for johnny-wipe). Recommend you take it to a mechanic if you are clueless and basically tool-less - you may have to have the head milled and they will also inspect and give you advise gleaned from years of servicing motor vehicles.
- 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?
- How much is an 89 honda prelude si with blown head gasket worth? I have an 89 honda prelude si with almost 200k miles on it. Interior 10/10 exterior a 6/10. Head gasket is blown but still runs and drives good. All stock. How much is it worth? In boise id by the way
- Just fixed a blown head gasket? It's a 1998 honda civic ex 1.6L vtec just basically got everything back together. Nervous to start it back up. Basically my question is how can I get the air bubbles out of my radiator if there's any. Just want to make sure the antifreeze is flowing correctly
- Honda Civic 2000 blown head gasket. Worth fixing? I have a Honda Civic 2000 4door and I believe I had blown a head gasket. It isn't running and its leaking water/coolant. I'm not sure if it is worth fixing or just selling and moving on. Also not sure how much it would be.
