I’m new to this forum so I hope I’m posting in the right spot. I have and 05 civic value package with 325k on the clock. I know very little aside from what I’ve researched the last couple days so bear with me. It’s been overheating for a long time but recently has gotten worse. I ripped it apart to check the head and the gasket. I can’t see a crack in the gasket, head, or block, so does this mean the head has warped from overheating therefore breaking the seal between the head and block? There is also a small pit on what I think is the problem cylinder. Could this pit cause a leak? Also some things to note: the cylinder where the pit is is much cleaner than the rest, also I noticed water in the oil when I took the valve cover off. When I take the radiator cap off there are bubbles when the car is running. Any thoughts? Warped? Or maybe the pit? Or maybe just wore out?
