Icon2 G22 Headgasket??

Ok, quick question for hopefully a quick answer. Just finished my G22 (H22A1 head on a F22B2 built block) on my 93 Prelude. I used a H22 headgasket and plugged the holes I had to plug on the head for the oil passages. The problem is, after I dynoed it (made 318whp and 247 torque at 10psi), it started leaking oil from the corner of the head close to the PS pump. Did I use the wrong headgasket. Some ppl say they used the F23 headgasket and modified the oil pasagges on it and some ppl just slap in the F23 headgasket with no modification at all. Is the F23 headgasket definitely the right one? I need experience guys answering this pls! I know not everyone has done this Frankestein but some of you have and It'll be awesome if you could help me with this pls. And yes, I've read the threads from Prelittlelude, Pirate and Sam. Thanks much for your help!!

maybe the plugs are leaking? I did that kind of setup and I used 2 3/4 npt plugs with a f22 headgasket without any problems, f23 and h22 ones should do. but I chose f22 because i had 85mm bore

Thanks bluehbcivic for your reply. I kind off did the same on each hole and filled them up with hondabond and left it 2 dry for a week!!!...I used the H22 headgasket, which to my understanding was going to work. I'm taking everything apart 2nite and see if theres anything wrong with the oil passages. Still not sure about what headgasket to use. I wanna make sure I don't starve the head from having good oil flow, u kno? Thanks again
