What are the common issues with cylinder head for honda crv 1999?

So, my buddy had a 99 CRV, and man, that thing was a rollercoaster. One day, we were driving up this hill, and suddenly it started sputtering like it was having a seizure. Turns out, the cylinder head gasket was blown. Who knew?

I mean, these older CRVs can be prone to overheating, and that happened to him. But like, how do you even know if it’s the gasket or just bad luck? We ended up doing that whole “how to fix it ourselves” thing, which was a nightmare but kinda funny looking back.

Another issue I heard about is those valves – they can get all wonky. And trust me, no one wants to hear the sound of metal on metal. Have you had issues with yours? Or just the usual maintenance stuff?

I ve had my 99 CRV for like a decade now and the cylinder head issues are a real pain. It started with overheating and then I noticed oil mixing with coolant which was just lovely. I’m in Canada so the cold weather don’t help. Honestly I’ve heard so many stories of cracked heads from other owners but I still love the ride.

Had my 99 CRV in Toronto and the cylinder head was a pain. I ve dealt with warped heads and blown gaskets more times than I can count. It’s frustrating when it happens especially if you’re not prepared for the costs.

I ve had my 99 CRV for years and the cylinder head gave me troubles in the cold winter in Canada. It’s a pain.

Friends told me about cracks and leaks in the head. Definitely something to watch out for if you’re in a similar situation.

I’ve had my fair share of trouble with my 99 CRV in Seattle. The overheating issues can be wild. I’ve heard others complain about warped cylinder heads too. It’s like a rite of passage for us CRV owners. Just gotta keep an eye on it.

I’ve had my 99 CRV for years and the cylinder head issues were a bit surprising. It started with overheating in summer here in California.

A buddy of mine told me about warping and how common it is for this model. I didn’t think much of it until I had to replace the gasket twice.

I have heard others mention the same problems so it seems like a real pain point.

I remember when my 99 CRV started overheating outta nowhere parked outside my friend’s place in Michigan.

Turned out the head gasket was blown. Super common issue seems like those old Hondas struggle with that after a while.

I’ve also heard about cracks in the cylinder head which is just a pain. If only they made 'em tougher back then.

At least the parts are easy to find though.

Ive seen lots of Honda CR-Vs with head gasket issues here in Seattle the engine just dies out of nowhere.

Sometimes they crack too especially in colder climates. It’s troublesome when you’re late for work on those rainy mornings. Overall they can be a bit of a headache.

I’ve had my 99 CRV in New York and the cylinder head issues were a pain. Coolant leaks were the worst and I’ve seen others with warped heads. It’s like a rite of passage for us CRV owners. Hope the new ones are better but nostalgia is strong.
