    Did you replace the head gasket? or just permatex the old one?

    You also probably should have replaced the head studs.

      definatly should have not reused bolts since you knew you had this problem before.
      new gasket?
      check straitness of the block?
      make sure alignment dowels got replaced into head/block when reassembling?

        i sprayed the shit out of the gasket like 3-4 layers of the permatext i read that a lot of the other members used it with no probs and the gasket wasnt that bad in the first place

              its a good idea to replace the head bolts because they are torque to yield bolts which means they should only be stretched/torqued once. never reuse headgaskets. permatex copper spray works great on new gaskets but is not a bandaid for not using a new gasket.

                  I find this odd as Honda NEVER mentions this in their manuals. Is this a tip you picked up from the guys that hang out at your local Dairy Queen ?

                    The stock bolts are MADE to stretch... which means they should never be reused.

                    Reusing a gasket is like reusing a condom. Not a good idea...

                      you mean I shouldnt have reused that condom on that chick from the bar last night?



                      uh oh....



                      I agree shoulda either replaced the bolts or upgraded to headstuds
