Icon2 H22A block, H22A4 Head w/A4 head gasket.

The shop finally got my Engine running but it is having trouble idling. Could it be because of the H22A4 Head Gasket i'm using. Recently I was advised to use a H22A Head Gasket. Last cold compression test were mid to high 100's. Engine had no problems before the timing belt snapped!

you should always use the headgasket designed for the block.

i have a h22a headgasket you could buy off me. $50 and it is yours. It is from honda. I ended up buying a h22a4 block so i bought an a4 gasket and have this one sitting in my room collecting dust.

I have a head gasket. Could that be the problem? It run great, but it is not idling once it reaching operating temp. I need a new Dizzy also, OBD1!
