My inlinepro headgasket is leaking!
I noticed today that oil was seeping out of the headgasket and I was dumping milky coolant. There is also white smoke coming out of the exhuast when I blip the throttle. Also when I drive I hear a fluttering noise coming from my engine bay although it goes away after 10 min of driving. The good news is that my car does not overheat and my compression seems to be fine. Do I need to replace the headgasket or is it possible that I can torque the headgasket down more to prevent the leaking? I don't want to spend another $300 for a replacement. I am using stock gsr headstuds which inlinepro said was ok, but maybe the problem is that they could be stripping?

Well they inline pro gaskets are actually 3 gaskets, Inline pro's metal plate and than the two outside layers of a oem honda head gasket.
So if you wanna replace your gasket just take it out buy a honda head gasket for your application and than just separate it replacing the middle shiny layer with the inline pro metal plate and you are set to go.
Leaking some oil or coolant is pritty normal with the inline pro headgasket but not as much as your saying..
What I would do is ask importbuilders what they torqued the gasket to and than go from there. First I would try torquing the gasket to 73 and seeing if it leaks if that doesn't work out for ya removie it and install a new gasket like I said above and torque it right the first time around.

I directly called inlinepro and they specified to me that gsr stock headstuds were ok and claimed some guy was boosting on 22lbs stock studs.
