I even tried the blue devil stuff the one where you have to take the thermostat out and run it the engine. Anyways he told me to try fiberlock head-gasket sealant and I tried it and followed the directions by the letter and it didn't work. If you keep fixing that car you will have 5000$ into a car thats not worth it. So he said David if you spend more $ on this car and lets just say the A/C goes out and you fix that and you know that transmission can blow anytime. I meant he engine really looked good if anyone had ever seen my posts where I showed pictures of the engine. However with so many miles and I just put new struts front and back and new tires front and back and new radiator and new throttle body and new silicone radiator hoses. He said he was cutting his own foot off by telling me this b/c he makes $. So told me with that many miles it was not worth it. It was to big of a job for me and the mechanic I use said it would of cost 100$ per head to get resurfaced and he wanted 800$ labor the parts new head gasket and new head bolts would of been nearly 200$ so total $1200.00 plus. He said it was Compression leak to coolant. He said it was common on the 3.0 3.5 Honda V6. He had asked me if I had ever changed the head bolts and I said NO. The guy next door saw it and said the same thing happend to his 2000 Honda Odyssey and his had 240K miles when his blew. When I started the car with the radiator cap off each compression stroke coolant would just blow right out of the radiator. I took the thermostat and put in boiling water to make sure it opened and it opened and closed perfect. I was told that it was calcium deposits in the heater core and when i put the heat on it caused the problem. I took the thermostat out and there was calcium worms like particles that were hard as STONE.
2000 HONDA ACCORD OIL IN COOLANT FULL
I let the car cool and in the morning I then opened the radiator cap and it was full of broken pieces of worm shaped worms It looked like CEMENT. I had to repeat this till I got home When I made it home. then I drove a few miles and then it started to over heat again. I pulled over and let it cool down.( About 15 Minutes ). I was driving and I put the heat on and I heard like a clinging sound through the engine. Thanks for whatever insights you might have.It pains me to say that my 2002 Honda Accord V6 that had 268K miles on it. Or some other part that one might think of as pins? They said there are NOT any thermostat pins! Instead, they thought the problem might have been that the clamp/s around the hose from the radiator might have expanded and released some of the fluid, and when that hit the hot engine it caused the steam which looked like smoke.ĭo you have any thoughts about this? Does the thermostat have - or not have - pins. This morning I took it into the garage I usually go to and they said they had no idea what the guy was talking about.
The car then worked fine, and was fine yesterday when I drove it. All I had in the car was windshield wiper fluid so he used that and some plain water. He also put more fluid into the radiator. He said he had knocked them back into place and there shouldn't be any more problem. He said the problem was that the thermostat pins were locked (or un-locked.I don't recall which it was) and they had slipped out of position. He crawled under the engine and banged something and said it was fixed.
I was in downtown Manhattan and not near the garage I usually go to, but a man walking by noticed the problem and said he was an auto mechanic and could help me. On Saturday evening there was smoke coming from my engine.
