Need Help With Leaking Head Gasket!
Ok guys, so i just got my h22a1 block rebuilt, and i used a different head(same year) the head was milled just to make it flat. Well i noticed the motor was leakin from the head gasket. I thought maybe i didnt torque it down right so i went ahead and re tourqed everything. Well it was stilll leakin so now im kinda stumped. I have done some research and read of honda selling someone the wrong headgasket(h23) and also read that if the head has been milled one too many time you have to shave the dowel pins a little. One other thing im wonderin is if i put it on wrong? Here are some pics of where its leakin from.
This is a pic of the right side right above the alt where the block and head meet
This is a pic above the engine code, now you see that tab in between the head and block, im wonderin if thats suppose to be on the other side above the alt, kinda like if its on upside down and backwards.
Can anyone confirm this for me? i really wanna get this runnin right for a track event next sunday, and just so you all know i used all oem parts! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS!

Re: (1BADEGDC2)
get the dowel pins cut if you take the head off to be on the safe side
and if the dowel pins need it to be cut it should be losing compression
ill do a leak down test first then check the head gasket
