You know Robert at hannys 02 97255115 :thumbsup:

get a metal headgasket (cometic, cosworth if your on a budget) otherwise a apexi or something if they make it for that engine... but u must get some arp headbolts, they are the reason y headgaskets blow, and temperature ofcourse

o bugger than your gonna have to come talk to him with me also

its already got head bolts for it done some researching and found out that the head was over shaved so the sleeves ended up sinking in, f***ed up hard so i thought about it.... and i've come to the conclusion that the only way to fix the problem is to replace the block (cos of high compression ) i might loose compression but at least ill save headgaskets... and i might just take it the only one that knows the motor inside out...DD

You seemed to have answered your own question..

Blocks ****ed and you will keep blowing HG

Hence the reason no one bothered buying this setup even at a hell cheap price..

Yeah I'll come talk to him but I'm not sure it will help...

Robert hates boosted Honders and only works on mine coze he re-built my D16Y1 before I was turboed lol

from a bit of your guys info i was able to cross out things
and find out a little about my own engine cheers boys for the info....

From what i heard down the grape vine, the block needs sleeves. Too many overheats. 122kw on 5.5psi is about on par with what i made on it.

it needs more than sleeves it needs a whole new block you must of got the info from the wrong grape vine (stale)

i was hoping i could get some info please first of all what is a better than a oem 3 layer copper coated head gasket... i've been told that a stainless steel gasket should do the job,,,,,if any one can help where i can find this gasket???? and if anyone knows anything about them ( by the way i blew the head on the dyno 121.4kw at 5.5 pound )...not much for a fully worked motor...

much appreciated for knowledge...

a mutli-layer shim gasket will be fine, i run a genuine honda gasket in my car,this engine has seen 35psi boost and and well over 60 low 10 sec passes.
i suspect it blew coz of the tune or the head wasnt fitted correctly
