i just bought my legend this weekend. the seller had great mainanence records, and for the record on here, it had the #6 reported as bad with ~109k on the engine. problem is, on the receipts only a $458 purchase of 'gasket kit' was mentioned and billed for. the timing belt and water pump had been replaced at 88xxx miles, on another receipt. what worries me is that no labor was paid for the bhg, just the kit, and no work other than the water pump has been done to the cars cooling system (as far as i can tell by going through the receipts). i dont know how to tell if lucky #6 got replaced properly or even replaced at all.....

how do i tell if the bhg got fixed? im all paranoid and could use some peace of mind.

all the info on here is amazing, but it will take a bit of time to read through everything regarding this. thanks a ton though =)

i'm having the same problem. My legend's temp gauge is reaching the H. but it gradually goes down. but not down to normal. i see no leakage. but there is a minimal amount of oil residue to the right of the engine(where it says honda motor co. on the metal part of the engine). Is that a leakage do to the overheating?how can i fix the problem? i'm worried that my head gasket might be going...... is it too late. i bought it a month ago and as far as i had it it over heated three times...........help me guys...you guys r my leg. mechanics..
