I tried to start up my b16 on Friday. This is a 1st gen B16 with a 2 ply mugen head gasket. I started to turn it over and boom oil came pumping out from the head gasket on the vtec side. Any ideas what is going on. I am thinking I should have checked the head for warping. I did torque to 62 ft lbs in the order it says to. This is a Jspec B16 and I am using the helms 94-97 del sol so I think the torque should be accurate. Should I rip the head off and take it to a machine shop?? I didn't think head warpage was a big issue but I guess I was wrong..Advice??

 

just to be safe take it down and get is resurfaced and checked...and for more c/r possibly shave it slightly....

 

Hey I just had the sme thing happen to me. I have a B16A w/ CTR ah hell just read my sig. Anyway what ever came to be your problem? I was just using a stock head gasket and it did exactly what you said. Just wondering what came of it.
