1997 Acura Integra Overheating Problems?

[wwwv34]

Recently bought Acura for my daughter as an early graduation gift. The car has overheated since we bought it. Dealership (term used lightly), are re-milling the head, replacing head gasket. Will that fix the overheating problem? (Already has new thermostat, tuned up, new battery, replaced rings, and new oil pan gasket). This car is driving (or not driving) me nuts!

That will fix it if the problem is compression getting into the cooling system past the head gasket. They need to make sure the deck of the block is also straight. ???? You said replaced rings.....if they replaced the rings the head or heads were off then,why was this not done then? Have the head(s) been pressure checked by a competent machine shop? A cracked head will cause overheating but then so will a water pump a fan or temp. switch that controls the fan or even the radiator. Good luck on this one,you may need to take it to someone else. If, after you do this, it still overheats, find the best radiator shop around, and take it to them,they will at least be able to tell you if your cooling system is working properly

sounds like they will fix it ..next time consider getting a good used motor and replace the entire motor instead
