Rex-O-Saurus blew its top
Driving home today the temp gauge moved off its normal 1/3 position. I managed to get it home without overheating, but found the radiator low and coolant still in the resevior. I started it up with the rad cap off and watched bubbles gurgling through the radiator as I blipped the throttle which is a blown head gasket.
Oh well, I did the same thing to my Integra a year and a half ago and the CRX looks alot easier and cheaper to fix then the Integra was. I should be able to replace it for about $200 including a valve job. I was going to post a thread on how to get stuck spark plugs out as the former owner must have cross threaded 2 of my plugs, but I guess I'll get the machine shop to fix that.
On the bright side I'll be driving the Integra to work for the next week or two without the guilt of wasting gas.
