Pulled the Head tonight it wasn't the headgasket :(
Well as some of you know I blew something about a month ago at the dyno. Well we pulled the head today (mad props to hondatec38 and his boy Joey) for helpin me out and doing it under 2hrs. After we pulled the head I saw alot of ugliness. One of the pistons melted and one had a small chip in it. Cylinder walls were scored but they will be salvageable. So Instead of sleeving and doing a full build up which I have no money for right now. I am just going to buy some forged pistons, new rod bearings, use stock rods, and get the car running again until I can afford a total build up. Thanks to everyone on the FI forum for giving me support to not sell this thing.
I will keep everyone updated on the progress.
Cliff Notes: Pulled head saw bad things -Melted piston -scored cylinder walls -Gonna get new pistons.
