Bro, My Esi 4m water temp is usually slightly below half. Yesterday, when @ traffic light, it will rise to slightly above half and when car is moving, it drop to below half again.
My radiator fan got cut in and cut off. Anyone encountered before?

ask the mech to check the radiator, it may be chocked if so, thats not a big problem, can flush it by chemical.

The worst senerio is head gasket blown, have to skim and change the gasket.

In my opinion, i rather go to a place which deals with civics, race with civics. They are more familiar with civics. Anyone can do the same job. Whether its good anot is another thing.

change to thick gasket so compression lower. then can add other things to increase back the compression!!
