I'm so pissed...had a low coolant light upon further inspection had radiator replaced...car still acted a bit funny... decided to do oil change as it was due... and what did I encounter an over flowing oil pain. I'm so freaking pissed! 120,000 miles....

if it were the 3800 and doing a gasket I know that motor really well...so now I'm forced to pay some clown god knows what.

like to know how the hell it blew.... 08 LNF currently dead :-/

 

Probably a porus block, blown head gaskets are uncommon on ecotecs.

 

Uhhhh, 08 cobalt with an 09 block wtf?

 

u most likely have a bad block, I don't even think iv heard of a blown head gasket on lnf. Porus block on the other hand, common issue. more than likely u need a new block, or just get the ldk engine from zzp, its cheap and porus block issue solved on it

 

So no recalls on something that's major like this?

 

We wish they had a recall for it, your on your own sadly

 

It didn't affect enough cars to warrant a recall. It's an issue on almost EVERY 1.8L honda engine from 06-09 and they took years to offer a warranty extension on it, not even a recall. And that's hundreds of thousand of cars. LNFs? Maybe 5000 tops? They don't care if a couple hundred had bad blocks after 8 years.

Any ideas when it was made by vin? I'm just highly annoyed enjoyed the car

 

We have heard of at least one 08 that had this.

 

Welcome to the club!

 

Usually a more common thing with 09, not so much 08. What is your build date, it's on the inside of your drivers door.
