        Yea the writeup i've looked at the guy used the stock honda F23 headgasket. So the felpro is most likely different, for whatever reason.

                make sure u got the oil pressure sensor plug on there tight.. and that the plug isnt halfway loose.. causing a short in the signal..


                secondly u did infact use a f23a/98+ accord headgasket right??? ur not suppost to have interference with coolant holes.. rather a corner of the gasket that doesnt line up with an oil drain..

                anyhow.. just keep checking for leaks from the timing belt side upper right hand corner.. if u didnt silicion/jbweld/honda bond or variant u might spring an oil leak... it will seep up in most cases when its done wrong..

                        yes sir.........did u get the head and block resurfaced before putting it back together? Did you use new headstuds or originals? The original OEM head studs are stretch type which means after they are torqued down the first time, they stretch. ARP headstuds dont do that which is why they are reuseable. If the head and block werent resurfaced, then there is a likeliness of an unproperly mated surface which is why you are mixing coolant and oil.

                            IMO i would rebuild the h23 since the h23 is a hell of a base to start with. Whether its boost or its All motor or just to have to drive from point a to b. I wanna do a h23 build one day........Once the f22 i have blows up along with the f22/h23 motor i have sitting and waiting lol. Same build you have there
