Have you always had that strut bar and that exhaust manifold (1320?) or is that one of recent upgrades? I tried scrolling through the original thread from 2008, but after a few pages figured it'd be quicker to ask.

The interior has held up well considering it is 28 years old.
I have had the ceramic coated headers for a lot longer than the strut brace, but neither is a recent addition.
Got it. It's been so long since I saw the engine pics in the original thread (2014-ish?) that I couldn't remember. That is a very good looking interior BTW. I never saw tan before... All the ones near me are black/gray interior.
Absolutely stunning.
Throw on a new tach with like 3 miles on it, and people will believe that this is a barn find that was never driven.

Yes, head gasket, valve adjustment and timing belt, that's just about it.

HarryJ: I’m guessing possible head gasket or.... potassium is pretty high
I'm hoping it isn't the head gasket again, I just had it changed 50,000 miles ago. How long do those things last anyway?
Not sure but that potassium would have me concerned
Yes, i'm concerned too. I just left the Honda dealer where I had the antifreeze changed and added two Barr's anti-leak tablets.
I will change the oil in another 5,000 miles to see what's up.

I am getting the parts together just in case the head gasket is going again.
The thing is that the radiator overflow bucket is keeping a constant level, until the other day. the level went down an inch
or so. I can't see any outside leaks so it must be internal. Not the head gasket again!

well the good news is.. the UOA caught it! At least at this point, Harry.. You can save this engine with a head gasket job. Better than the whole engine dying!
