Headgasket
 
I replaced my headgasket last weekend (D16 HMT - 95 Civic EX)... I finally got everything back together this weekend, started it up and let it run for awhile (refilling the radiator, etc...)

How can i find out for sure that's sealed properly? I cleaned up the head and block kind of ok before I put it back together. Used NEW ARP studs with a Cometic headgasket. Compression is 150 to 170. Nothing noticable on the plugs. A little bit of white smoke out the tailpipe, but it's cold out. No drips...

Or do I need to take it for a long drive?

all it really needs is one heat cycle to seal, just drive it hard and you'll know if it sealed :6

10psi+ is always a good indicator.
