i blew my head a couple weeks ago, i picked up a new head and slapped it on, when we put it on oil came out of the block.... so its a little warped, whats a safe amount the shave off of the block, and also the head, and also what kind of compression will i be running from doing this when its done, i have a b81c1, with stock pistons and im going to be using a stock honda head gasket.. any info on the pros and cons of doing this will help. thanks in advance to the honda-tech members

 

no one can help?

 

Don't mill anything unless it is warped. Have a machine shop check the head for flatness. The motor will have to come out to do the block. Leaking oil not necesarily a head gasket. You could have installed the head gasket upside down or backwards, could be a valve cover leaking, vtec selenoid leak, etc.

 

we checked the block and it is warped just a little bit on the 4th cylinder

 

take it to a good machine shop and have them only remove the ammount needed to bring it back into spec.......no more......

 

Yeah, if u take too much off it messes up your timing and timing belt.

 

aright guys, thanks for the input, the block is out and heading to the machine shop on tuesday

and one more question, some peopel said milling your head is bad in the long run? why is this? or is it not true, will my head not last as long if i mill it, i was goign to have it milled 30

 

Mill as little as possible..weakens everything and throws timing belt out of align.
