- Fri Apr 17, 2009 12:15 am #111117 Hello everybody, I have a 95 Civic LX sedan. It has been overheating for a while now. I just replaced the headgasket due to white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. I also replaced both intake and exhaust gaskets. I put everything back together using the Haynes manual. I also replaced the spark plugs, air filter, and oil filter. When I turn it on it runs fine, then after a couple of minutes smoke starts coming off the exhaust manifold. I've also replaced the thermostat, since i read that if the top radiator hose is hot and the bottom is cold then the thermostat is stuck closed. The radiator fan does work. I need your wisdom, Any help will be appreciated, Thanks.[/b]
