Head Gasket blew now i have a serious problem.......
Early last week my head gasket blew on my B18C. I dropped the car off by my mechanic he did the necessary.
After taking it off he took it to the machine shop to get the head milled.
He got it back, he also peeled a layer off the OEM headgasket and put it back up.
After putting it back up and started the car he, said he hear a sound similar to a hose blowing, then oil started to spray from between the Head and the block on the side right below the distributor.
Any ideas why it would do this.... he says the machine shop has a good rep and all the heads it does come back nice and level.

doesnt sound much like your mechanic torqued the head down properly...
