the head has OEM vavle train, so I wanna put aftermarket parts in so I can run more boost, while it's being taken apart.

 

The head and valvetrain is ok for boosting that low.
The only reason i would change the valva train was if I was going to build a high rev engine.
You could get better cams for performance,

 

semnos you relly think its a head gasket, I had a lot of blow by from the breather valve, and oil cap. when this happened to my f22 i had peaces of rings in the oil pan. But my goal I think is to run 12-15psi with no problems. how many pounds could I run with built bottom, and stock head? thanks

 

well did a compression test 1#175 2#175 3#115 4#105. so now its time to look for parts

 

could be cracked sleeves or broken piston ring lands. Once the head is off fill the cylinders half full of gas, thats usually a easy way to tell if the rings are sealing or not.

Only time I have ever blown headgaskets on hondas they have always pressurized the cooling system.

 

I hope the sleeves are not cracked, than that means the block is shot, not sure when Iam going to to take it apart, cause I can still move it around if I have to. thanks for the info

 

Maybe I missed it.. but what kinda engine is this?

 

its and h23, there where about 200 miles on it if that before it blew.

 

shitty deal.

some people say break in rings HARD. like rev the ---- outta the engine to seal em.

who knows the theory..
