1986 Civic Si Head Gasket

86 Civic Si · 11-13-2008

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I just bought an '86 Civic Si as a daily driver. It looks like it needs a new head gasket. Has anyone done this job or is there a write up that I could follow?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck

Nope, sorry- not for that year. Your best bet is to earch the internet for a downloadable copy of a service manual for your car, or go out to napa or whatever and buy the hayes manual, or similar. You can also search this site for a headgasket swap and apply the same process to your generation. Its basically the same deal.
