What could be the cause of this happing for the second time in 2 weeks? First time it happen was on the dyno and we noticed milky oil on the oil cap and it just happen again last night at the track. Both times we pulled the dip stick and there was steam and a bunch of presure built up in the motor.

h22 stock block with a P&P head, jun cams and springs, rev valves, twm itbs and a 100 shot direct port of nitrous.

 

Any ideas?

 

Bad seal between head and block. Warped head, or block deck? Call me up tomorrow.

 

Great.

 

what was done after the fist h.g problem?
was the head sent out to machine shop?

 

No we did not send it out only cause we were told if it was a minor leak we did not need to.

THAT WAS YOUR FIRST MISTAKE........who ever tells you that your head does not need to be surfaced after you see a milky colored oil......doesn't have a clue as to what he or she is talking about.get that head surfaced and pressure checked.better to be safe than sorry.


hope you get back up and running??


harv

 

I guess thats what needs to be done then thanks.

did you check the head and deck surface with a straight edge the 1st time?

 

Yes check the block with the straight edge, Another important thing, you keep taking it on and off, Get your self the extra cheap insurance, its only around 110 bucks, its called head studs. Your honda head bolts are probably all stretched out. If you already have head studs than your good to go i guess, other than checking your head and block.

 

another thing that will help is to spray about 3 coats of copperseal spray on the headgasket before installation

The first time the motor was put back together before it went in the car the head was resurfaced but not since we put the new gasket in.

We do have head studs and we will check the block and head once we get a chance to take it apart.
