Im considering using the same headgasket, is this a bad idea? The car hasnt even run for 20 miniutes.

Lemme know if any of you have had any experience with this problem, After doing a leak down test the compression ratio jumped back to normal. All four cylinders now have 180psi. Could my valves not be seating properly in the #3 chamber? BTW the leak down results revealed no abnormal leaks.

Re: Indexing Question
 

*BINGO* you bent a valve a little so it could/will seal at times, I did that on a customers accord once :P

Yes, it is a bad idea to reuse a headgasket.

Speed Phreak has been using the same headgasket for four years now on his 2.0 LS-cum-2.0/VTEC. Head's been off three times now, he just cleans it really well and has had no problems in the 350-400 whp range. He's also what I call a very lucky man.

Feeling lucky, punk? 8)

Re: Indexing Question
 

I was just gonna post up cause nobody else responded. I received my head today, but the H/G is on its way. Ill just be patient, (although its not one of my strengths).

Re: Indexing Question
 

I ran another C/R test and the numbers were 190-190-185-190. You noggs were right, the problem was the head.

Sweet, glad to hear it's fixed...
