New top end vs reman engine
#1
1997 V6 2.7l Accord Lx Head Gasket Top End Rebuild
97 v6 -- thinking head gaskets, or cracked head (water shoots from radiator while cranking)
Now, do I strip it down and rebuild top end, or just buy a reman engine for 350.00 (with warranty) and slap it in there?

I've never seen a V6 get pulled from a 5th gen accord, but I think you should be able to pull the engine from the top. You probably have to take off the a/c and everything off that side of the engine. Not sure if you'll have to take off the harmonic balancer pulley.

ps.. that engine is SO heavy, it kept trying to tip over my cherry picker -- I had to back my suv up to it and chain it down. But if you notice, I lifted the entire front of the car with the cherry picker with 0 issue, 0 tipping
