Well, i have about 900 miles on my new motor. Blew the head gasket the other day...
Noticed bubbling in the coolant resivoir. When i pulled the sparkplugs, cyl #1 had coolant on the plug, and the cyl was steam cleaned... All othe cylinder looked good.
I retorqued the head, and it still leaked...
I pulled the head today. Found a tiny leak in the #1 cylinder on the lower side of the gasket. I used an OEM honda gasket copper coated.
This time i did not copper coat the gasket... And i also overtorqued the head bolts. I think they may have stetched from all the abuse...
Car runs great now. No leaks yet. I have not gotton on it hard yet....
If i blow another one i'm going to pull the motor and o-ring the block and run some head studs...
