Head-Gasket keeps on going!!!! READ!!!! HELP!!!!
ok this is the story, my brother has a CRX with a B16 and it has about 4 thousand dollars of work invested into it, we got alot of hook ups on parts also, so say it has around 5-6 thousand $ worth of engine work........ it has a decked block and a decked head and it has 11.6:1 compression just on the pistons that he has, so his compression is prob around 12 something to 1 or higher??? i dont know.....
but the problem is he has put about 5 diffrent headgaskets because they keep letting coolent out everytime we start the car and coolent runs everywhere from the head, and the oil turns milky cause of the mixture!! he also took the racing head out and put the stock one back on thinking maybe the head was warped or something, but it still does the same thing.......
also to show how shaved the head was, the pistons bent the spark plugs, so we got shorter spark plugs they are still fine, no bends on them.... but thats just to show how shaved the head and the block is, we dont think the block is warped, were just thinking maybe the engine has too much compression and that may be the cause of the headgaskets going all the time, we still havent even driven the car!!!! it is so annoying!!! we have so much power under the hood, and no way of releasing it!!! please help and tell me how we can fix this problem of blowing all these headgaskets, my brother is at the point of thinking of migwelding the head to the block, lol........ please help!!!!

A co-worker of mine added a turbo to his 98 Civic. After replacing the head gasket, it leaked and overheated a lot. He used an aftermarket copper head gasket. We found out that it was due to some coolant passages being the same size in front of and behind the pistons. The stock gasket has larger coolant passages on one side and smaller on the other. (Not sure which. It was his project, I didn't pay much attention.) Perhaps this may be related to your problem.
An OE headgasket fixed his trouble.
