Jon, Here are the Honda flat rates:


Cylinder head gasket: 2.8 hrs
Water pump : 2.1 hrs
Thermostat: .3 hrs

Blown head gaskets are usually caused by overheating; often the cylinder head is warped and needs to be machined. Overheating can be from lack of coolant (leak), thermostat sticking, fan problem, water pump problem, hose collapsing, or as in my case on a 4518 blocked cooling air flow from dirt packed in the radiator. I was cleaning the screen in front of the radiator faithfully but couldn’t see the dirt that was building up cooling fins. Then the coolant temp warning light in the instrument panel lit up. After spraying water through the cooling fins to flush out the dirt and checking for good coolant flow, everything was fine. Tom C.
