Anybody from Canada(toronto Area) who is willing to do my HG job.
From the GTA area and have an 05 sedan civic si (252km) and i definitely think a HG job is needed, with all the coolant loss/overheating/misfiring/overflow on the reservoir tank, annoying bubling sound etc.. I've been to many mechanics and cant seems to have found an honest one, I just had the crankshaft sensor replaced last year of Jan. and he told me to replaced the timing belt as well since it the same type of labor that was needed, paid 600 but didnt come back since as i returned back to him due to the oil leak that i had experienced. He just removed the engine cover and applied some sort of glued to stop the leak. Summer time came and the overheat started to take place and the coolant refill happens from a monthly basis into a weekly routine. Anyway, anyone who is willing to do the work and can charge me reasonable amount, im easy person to work with.

All right then ima have to go back to my mechanic and let him check to real culprit of the coolant loss/overheat. In beside, non mechanic people here might have faced the same problem as mine and they gave their energy/time to research the HG job right. Thus, might be interested on making some extra dough on their spare time.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

I'm only about 700 miles away, and I'd be more than happy to fix it at the shop.

ok guys, i might have save myself some money and hoping that the real cause is just bubble on the system. I just properly burped the rad and actually waited for the fan to turn on before concluding the addition of coolant, the first time around i didnt have any clue that i needed to rev up the engine and didnt have that special funnel tool. So crossing my finger on this as the last time i had an overheating problem was when I traveled to Windsor for 4 hours, but it wasnt like a real overheating as the guage just went 3/4 up on a MCdonald drive thru, eventually i off the engine right away. Hoping after all it just a bubbled and not HG, thanks to who were interested anyway. I'll keep a journal on the coolant level and overheating, day 3 so far and coolant level seems the same.

Another way to get all the air out of the cooling system is to take the rad cap off and let it sit over night. Put the rad cap back on the next morning.
You might want to do a cylinder leak down test before changing your head gasket.
I know a good mechanic in Scarborough. Good Luck.

your in head gasket denial....lol
I was too, if it fillin your reservoir and you have to add fluid
its prolly head gasket. or worse but HG is most likely
Also you could tell on my cylinder 4 spark plug was white.
When i would took off rad cap I could also smell exaust.
I had mine done at a Honda dealer
also had the timing belt water pump done at same time.
I believe it came to 1500 tax in for everything....in guelph I was on the road with work at the time.
Under the hood looked brand new when they were done.
have since put 40000KM on it ....I still check rad fluid every week..lol
