Is my engine too hot?
89 civic. Is my engine too hot? After 10 min driving, park it and open the hood and all I feel from is "damn it my engine too hot" Today I picked up the oil dip and checked the oil. It was so hot I drop the dip stick. Definitely the end of the stick was hot. Do you think this is normal? I remember a mechanic guy told me don't be surprise by hot engine. My temp gauage is basically normal. I ask a simply question is this a normal thing or my car is overheating... |

I had a 92 accord that ran so hot you could fry and egg on the hood even
though the temp gauge was normal and thermostat had been replaced. The dealership couldn't figure it out, honda canada had no advice and finally an independant pointed out a cracked exhaust manifold as the culprit. Could be that yours has something similar? wrote: > 89 civic. Is my engine too hot?
