Thanks Sumeet,
The engine definitely doesnt need a rebuild. Its smooth but doesnt pack the punch as before. 2 of my cylinders are on 175 and 2 on 150. so i am wondering what to do.

I have read about Xado but not sure whether i really need it. Could you provide the exact product that you used. I could ask my friends in UK / US to send it here.

Go to Automech exhaust system in parel they are very very good for exhaust systems.

When the exhaust of my ex-OHC type 1 AT got blown went to them and got a full free flow done without the headers for 8.5k and the car sounded superb and performed superbly and mileage went up by 1kmpl.

Same experience with my 800 after the exhaust manifold developed a leak and also bits and pieces of exhaust pipes got full FFE done for 9k and performance of car has become superb and if i drive properly without flooring it much i get around 13-14kmpl in Mumbai traffic with 80% AC.

They also do complete stock exhaust systems.
Get the exhaust system done in Stainless Steel and it will last for next 9-10years atleast but it would be little more costly but worth IMO.

Yes it is built in, but it can we replaced by adding an external element.

I assume that it would be an external resistive circuit. Does this restore the heater function or just fool the ECU?

Automech exhaust systems,gave me a quote of 6500 for a stock exhaust system.Whereas the last time at a local garage i paid 1500 for only the end can.

The malfunction light popped up today. (When the igniton is switched off and on, the engine oil indicator takes a while to light up.) Opened the hood to realise that oil has been leaking from the head. Did notice some oil around the engine before, but didnt thinks its too serious.
Is the head gasket gone kaput ? any other reasons for oil to pour out from the head ? HELP !!

My OHC bonnet needed replacement. I decided to get it done at my FNG. The mechanic claims to have bought a "new" replacement but somehow its condition doesnt convince me its new. It has a very crude grey primer coating, but there are small cringes to both ends towards the windshield - corrugated wavy metal , there are no rubber linings under hood, no honda sticker, and there are sharp shallow dents at three places(all in a single line) underneath. Do you think he is taking me for a ride by palming off a used stuff claiming its new with a false bill? Please help.

likely to be gasket. while you are replacing it, also check the crank and cam oil seals.
also check what code your engine light is throwing up.

Apart from this, i need the rubber channels in which the windows operate. Due to age, they have deteriorated and my windows move slower than a snail. Have been using WD40 but want a permanent measure. Please suggest a place where i can get them before my power window motor goes kaput ?
