I have a 98 Civic EX with an "apparent" head gasket leak. It over-heated and had steam coming out the tailpipe when it cooled back down. Especially when the engine is revved. A Honda mechanic told me the definitive test for a blown head gasket was to top up the radiator and rev the engine. If radiator fluid overflows, it's a blown head gasket. It does.

So I repaired it - or tried to. New Honda head gasket. I got a reman'ed head just in case mine was warped. Replaced various other gaskets. I started it up and it runs fine, until I rev it. It's doing the same d##n thing!

Is it likely that the engine block is warped? (That could be the death of this car.) Can you think of ANYTHING else that might cause this behavior?

Thanks for your insights!!
