[QUOTE="bien335, post: 2588076, member: 78812"] yes... I have heard of this recurring rumour. Infact, a few of the customers that come to my shop that had the EJ have been experiencing the same problem. Not all. Just a few. And yes, we sent the head out for skimming. But the block also needs to be reworked as well. Not economical, but saves the hassle of going to PUSPAKOM and getting another engine, which may or may not be in better condition. If money is no object, and your cousin is fed up with this overheating issue, I would suggest going up a notch. Get another engine, and build it. Build as in not just buy and plonk in, but refurbish what is needed. Replace seals, waterpump. Ive seen people just drop in an engine straight from the shop. Open up the engine, and check for its condition. better safe than being stranded on the side of the road with a bent head eh. its your cousins call. If he deems a reskim is sufficient, be it. But I would get another engine. Or get a used VTEC head. which isnt hard to get and not that expensive either. my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
