overheating radiator: bubmubulwak!

[mazerom]

i'm a new used car owner...suddenly my car esi civic 95 model is overheating everytime i speep up the accelerator, but when it's slow, it's in the normal level...
i realized that i made a big mistake by pouring in pure water to the radiator cap( yes pag binuksan yung rad cap, nagbubulwak at may kumukulong tubig na nag lumalabas with very high pressure) then binubuhusan ko ng water..
what can i do?
what are the possible problems?
what are the possible options that i can do?

do you know of anything where to download a service manual for honda civic esi 95 model?

thanks

meron na yatang thread dito na ganun din yun problema e. nag cocoolant ka ba?

malamang binkong ang cylinder heads mo.

sana pinalamig mo muna ang engine bago mo binuhusan ng malamig na tubig.
baka may nag-crack na sa engine/radiator mo, mabuti hindi ka nabanlian ng mainit na tubig? ingat sa pagbukas ng radiator when its hot.

ipa-check up mo ang aux fans and water pump if they are working properly.
check for leaks na rin sa mga hose at radiator cap.
goodluck.

or sana di mo pinatay yung makina habang naglalagay ka ng water sa radiator...

pag umaandar ang makina, di bubulwak ang tubig.

as for my diagnosis, binkong ang cylinder heads mo have it checked.

hindi kase dapat tumataas ang temp pag umaandar ka na eh, kung normal na radiator related overheating lang yan.

i just used pure water from gas stations..
how much will i spend if i have to fix(typicla value)
1. cylinder gasket
2. radiator overhaul
3. typical labor
4. leaks(in relation to this, i saw some oil leaks dripping from my hood but not much..does it has something to do with this?is my engine problematic?my uncle says my enginer is in tip top condition but why the drip?it is dripped somewhere from the left part of the hood..not much though...just bits of driplets..

thanks again!

also, do you know of where i can download service manual for honda civic esi 95?
i was able to donwload a 94+ mb manual of honda civic 92-95...but do you know of a manual exclusively for the esi 95 model?

thanks

oil leaks probably from some hose that wasnt able to withstand the temp of the engine during overheat, better find it before it gets worse.

[mazerom]

thanks..im a newbie in that part..what is the description of the hose that ur referring to?

Not sure about the cost of fixing a busted head since, awa ng Diyos, hindi pa nangyari sakin to. As for the overhaul, mga 1k daw ata. Instead of this, bili ka na lang bnew Evercool for around 3k.

Dami pwede maging source ng leaks e. There's the P/S fluid, clutch & brake fluid, coolant, engine oil. When you said left side ng hood, are you facing the front of the car? If so, pwede coolant yan since may overheating problem ka. In any case, since for sure papatingin mo yan, pa-diagnose mo na lahat para isang pagawaan na lang. Your engine might be ok, pero it could still have leaks kung may sira na mga seals, bearings, etc.

try to check your oil levels too. yan ang nangyari sa akin. mabilis tumaas nag overheat pa ako. yun pala kulang na sa lubrication engine ko kaya umiinit agad malamang sa friction galing

you might have a hard time finding a service manual for the esi. problem is, the esi released in the philippines didn't have the same engine found in the esi's in the US or in japan. we got the 1.6 non vtec while the others got vtec equipped engines. so not all engine infor will be applicable.

mazerom; medyo nasubaybayan ko yung mga thread mo lalo na nung hanap ka car. di ka ba nagsama ng mekaniko nung kuha mo kotse? pag umandar yung kotse better pa compression test mo na rin.

I am having problem with my Toyota liteace 92 model,balak ko sna pa upgrade in to 3 rows radiator ko because of over heating. pero napansin ko lang na hindi bumabalik ung tubig from reservoir to radiator after gamitin. Usually dpat pag iniwan mo ng overnyt mababawasan ang reservoir dba? pero chk ko ung reservoir halos umapaw den chk ko ung sa radiator almost haf liter ang nilagay ko.So nag dadalwang isip ako papalitan radiator ko into 3 rows kc bka ganun pa rin problem. Anybody pls help

yeah agree. it's easy to point you in one direction or another but unless makita yung exact symptoms it might be useless
