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?
