hey everybody

just picked up a 2003 CIVIC 4DR sedan Stick

there is a bit of oil leakage near the head ( to the left side of engine and just going down on half the engine "

but
i have read through some forms and "head gasket symptoms"

"
Blown Head Gasket Symptoms:

Coolant leaking externally from bellow the exhaust manifold.
White smoke from the exhaust pipe.
Overheating engine.
Bubbles in the radiator or coolant overflow tank.
White milky oil.
Significant loss of coolant with no visible leaks

none of the symptoms are visible ,
im unsure guys, HELP please ??


and also if someone can give info regards to spark plugs and spark plug wires ,
which is best to use for tune up ??

ezone

An oil leak will not be from a head gasket.

That's not saying it doesn't ALSO have a head gasket problem though.
There are no plug wires, and if you want to change the spark plugs I'd use what the factory put in there. NGK or DENSO.

@ Ezone


That's a relief ,
otherwise would been a worst buy.




being in toronto
Canadian tire best place for me to shop

which of those would you recamond ?

Amiri H

i mean that being something affordable
the first one is affordable since they come in 2's.

Post pictures of your oil leak?



Link goes nowhere, I have no idea what you were trying to buy.


Search local parts stores online if you want spark plugs, but search specifically for the CORRECT plugs.
I'd hope most stores can get whatever you want overnight.... If nothing else, get them from a dealership.

The correct plugs should last at least 100,000 miles (160,000km)

My Honda parts catalog shows
DENSO PKJ20CR-M11
I'd also be ok with using
NGK PZFR6F-11

hey every one ,

towed it to the shop , mechanic said the leak is from valve cover so no biggie there thank god,, but i do need a new clutch kit.

any recommendation where i can order online for cheaper ? as they charge like a beach if i ask them to order the part for me.


thanks ezone for the guide

thesushiboy

Try Amazon.

What's the price they are quoting you?

pjb3

Make sure the shop is OK with you supplying the parts. Some shops will not install parts that you supply. Also, most shops will not provide any warranty on work if they don't do the whole job which includes sourcing the parts.

Amiri H

or this one ?

thesushiboy

I go OEM on nearly everything that's essential or once in a lifetime replacement. Having said that, go here, put in your VIN and search for your exact part. Copy the part number into Amazon or Ebay or just do a google shopping trip. Good luck!
