FYI, its VERY easy to screw up installing a new headgasket

Did you torque it all to spec and follow the correct torque sequence?

Keep in mind, thats a VERY important step.

I forgot to do it the first time and it angered the car gods so much they burned my shed to the ground.

What brand of headgasket did you replace?Me too i got the same prob,i had bought a cheap one and it resulted the engine overheated.Then i bought a new honda factory headgasket and i'm still driving with it with no overheated.OEM is best.
