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?
If the car is otherwise in good shape go for it. You might as well decarbonize the pistons while youhave the head off. Check the head for warpage and resurface if necessary. Sometimes it's worthwhile to buy a rebuilt/exchange head which will have been thoroughly cleaned and had the valves, valve guides, and seals redone.
You might as well try, worst thing that can happen is you junk the car, which is it's current condition.
And with an expert helping you should be fine.
