small bubbles in radiator, busted HG?

[kidlatfernandez]

Hi Sir,

Normally when the HG will go bad, you have to replace it with an OEM instead of bringing it to the machine shop for re surfacing. I have a mitsu lancer & the OEM HG costs 1, 700 PHP at shaw merchandising. Yours is honda so i suggest you check with supplier.ph the price of an original HG.

BTW, check you oil cap if you will notice a mix of oil & coolant. If YES, the HG or the CH might be in bad shape already. Also, white smoke in the tail pipe with water or coolant indication shows that the coolant is already flowing in the combustion chamber.

Try speedyfix. Sir Migs is the best judge for that cases. He can give you a rough estimate for your case.

Gumagana ba iyong auxillary fan mo. Subukan mo buksan sa umaga iyong hindi pa mainit makina mo ang radiator cap . Pa start mo sa kasama mo makina tignan mo kung bumubulwak o lumalabas ang tubig sa bibig ng radiator kung lumalabas head gasket iyan . Tignan mo rin iyong thermostat.

* speed_unlimited: sir ok yung 2 fans, gumagana din yung thermo switch. wit regard sa pag start kung me tubig bubulwak, negative din sir.....

update ko na din mga sirs, nawala na yung mga bubbles probabaly because ni re-torque ko yung head as advised in other threads. but the problem is still there, overheat pa din pag long driving, pag traffic wala problem...any ideas mga gurus....TIA

Kadalasan iyong madalas mangyari pag traffic nag ooverheat dahil nakahinto at hindi nakakasagap ng hangin baliktad iyong sa iyo . Ang mga cause ng overheat check mo na lang Radiator maaring barado , Sirang radiator cap, radiator hose may leak . Nagbabawas ba ng tubig check mo kung may leak sa mga clamp ng hose. Sa tingin ko sa video barado iyong radiator mo pa check mo muna sa gumagawa ng radiator. Ganoon muna gawin mo at sabihin mo sa amin resulta.

yes, baligtad nga... i have searched the www but no definite answer i hav come acrossd so far. actually, i am the one doing minor car repairs and maintenance, both mechanical and electrical, sa cars namin and this is the first time i have encountered this problem. but for sure, i am certain na no problem sa fans, radiator and hindi rin nagbabawas ng tubig.

and, as ive said earlier, nawala na yung visible bubbles after i re-torqued the CH. one thing i notice though, which convinced myself na HG leak na ciguro ang actual problem, i noticed na parang meron konting smoke sa radiator pag start kahit di pa mainit engine. i am now planning to look for leak test kit to analyze the trouble further and , worse case scenario, to replace the HG... any recommendation where i can buy the kit? regards....

i installed new thermostat today and guess what, this is my unlucky day...

the symptoms for HG or cylinder head problem became more apparent, bubbles coming out of the radiator and smell of burned gas...

guys, any idea how much i need to prepare?

likewise, any recommended shop preferably in bulacan area with quality work at reasonable price will be highly appreciated... many thnks in advance..
