Hi,
What would be the best setup for the price?
I have a '90 crx si with 189K miles on the engine. The car is in great shape (no smoke ). I notice a small oil leak from the head gasket. I also notice a bit of oil on two of the spark plugs (on the wire side not on the spark side). it's also going to need a clutch soon.
Now, should I make the expense on having the head gasket replace and take the heads to the machine shop. Which also means I have to buy new intake and exhaust gaskets too. or...
Since i'm going to remove the heads anyway, should i go mini me? which I will have to add the cost of the new heads and vtech controller etc.. or...
Order a ZC and change water pump, t.belt before swapping it in. If I decide to go this route, I plan to take the heads off an replace the head gasket an all other seals.
parts like the water pump is no biggie beacuse i had another CRX with a ZC that i still have warranties on some of the parts.
Thanks
