I started my problem back in july (my b16a swap), got it finally running in september, went back the next day and couldn't get it to start, several weeks later I fix a fucked up ground. then I crack the radiator and drive 20 miles to warp the head because my temp gauge didn't work and I was too stupid to notice the huge cracks in my radiator until I got to where I was going. so I had the head machined and put that ---- back together, then the gasket leaked so I pulled it off and tried again, this time using copper spray and lightly sanding the block and this gets me to my current point. I once again have water coming out from under my head. the oil isn't all milky yet like it was before, but there is no doubt that water is leaking between the head and the block. I'm going to talk to my dad and my mechanic about it tomarrow or monday, but I want to know what you think, should I just throw away my engine now or is there some way to fix it?
p.s. powere is still there so I don't think the gasket is leaking around the sleeves.

 

Did you use a new headgasket when you had the head straightend? Any time you change the matting surface of the head or the block, gotta use a new headgasket.

 

yes I used new gaskets both times, I'm on my third gasket this month

 

The block could need to be surfaced. It might have warped when you overheated it. Happened to me.

seems like the only thing you havent done so i say the block is prob to blame for uneven mating surface

 

my dad said if the block is fucked we're just going to pull the motor, put the old one back in and build the b16. this sucks going from faster to slower, but at least my old motor was reliable.

 

The block isn't exactly fucked. You just need to have it surfaced. It's a bitch and a half and it sucks really bad, but it's not that bad. Building the B isn't a bad idea though.
