[QUOTE=salad;2910993]Not sure what you mean by that? Can you rephrase lol

Seriously, unless that 16' camper is a paper box the XJ is going to have a really hard time towing it at any speed without any work. Maybe in 2nd gear.

Do you know the weight of the trailer?[/QUOT


I was told its around 2200. but it just seems like it would be heavier. im in the process of upgrading the whole cooling system now is what I meant.

2 a black and gross and 2 are spotless. Both pairs are next to each other, not every other cylinder so I know its either the dirty side (1-2) or the clean shiny (2-3) side. But i wanted input.
Coolant leaking into cylinders cleans the carbon off pistons.

Remember our threads about removing carbon from an engine using water?

All I know about Civic engines is like this:

1) If you think the head gasket is done, it probably is.

2) Who cares where the problem is? Take off the head, clean that carbon up, do the gasket, reinstall the head, resume driving.

My cruise control doesn't work at all and my slower wiper speeds don't either. I was wondering if both of these problems could be related and caused by the same thing? I'll do some more searchin but so far haven't found anything on it

Doubtful. Although they're operated off the same stalk, they're independent of each other.
