Rep Power: 0

Looking for real civic knowledge. Please help. My civic is well maintenance and taken care of. There's an small grinding noise that I can hear easilyr when going up hill. I replaced all the belts and what's attached except the power pump, only pulley and that didn't help. Then one day I wemt up hill like normal and hit 4000 rpm and it sounded like a lawn mower the rest of the day. Only that day so I took it in a week later and told the shop and 10 min later they said the head gasket is blown. That would mean its been blown six months amd it drives like a top in the morning and bogs down in warm weather. Haven't had the mower sound and I drive up hill daily. Can someone help. Id like to fix it. Andr knowledge on the one time mower sound
