FAQ #1: I am losing radiator fluid and my Honda engine will run hot!! Can you help? Honda engines are notorious for leaking head gaskets. What will happen is the gasket between the coolant and the combustion chamber will start to leak and burn your coolant. Once the coolant gets low, the engine starts to run hot. It is easy to check if you have a coolant-burning problem: just pull out the spark plugs and look at the top of the piston. If you are burning coolant in that chamber, the top of the piston will be shiny and clean. The piston should be more black, and not clean aluminum colored. FAQ #2: Why can't I go from synthetic oil back to regular oil? Synthetic oil permeates the walls of the cylinder to provide excellent lubrication. If you go back to standard oil after using synthetic, the smaller molecules in standard oil will literally slip by the rings because the synthetic oil has already become embedded in the cylinder wall. This will cause your engine to smoke like crazy. Sponsored By Discovery Automotive Parts http://www.d-a-p.com |
