Oil leak from head gasket???
okay so i just got my head built on my 95' gsr motor.. (turbo)
so that means i re-surfaced my head, but not my block..
(i heard that my block might be warped a little causing a slight gap between my head and my block due to many miles (140k)..)
does this mean that my head and my block dont match up perfectly and my oil is gushing out from there?? and is my solution a thicker (ceramic) gasket??
or if it might be a different problem please let me know..
please give me your input, thanks!

only way is to remove the head and check with a straight edge and a feeler gauge on the block surface. Check you put the new gasket the right way round, (it's marked top/front) check it's the corect gasket. Use a quality (new) gasket.
Like this one, it seals better than an oem style.

cool thanks, yah i just picked up a better gasket and i started ripping off my head today but had to go to work so im going to hopefully get it off tonight then check, im almost positive the gasket is on correctly and it is a fresh new one, but its oem.. so i just purchased one kinda like the link ^^^ and im going to install that one tomorrow morning so i will let you know! thanks for the advice!
