Okay guys, I am doing my first turbo install, Im practically done except for installing my oil pan.. anyways, my question... i have a 2mm inline pro head gasket, i am using brand new stock head bolts. i torqued the head bolts 10% over what stock reccomends per inline pro's instructions. I noticed that when I had the car jacked up way on its side, I saw a little bit of oil coming from where the head and block meet. Im wondering do I need to torque the bolts more? I did it in the two step process im supposed to, and in the correct bolt pattern. Im just wondering if anyone has had the same problem, how did they fit it. And does this seem like a potential problem? Need a little help here, not sure exactly what to do..... Thanks for any advice you guys can provide.

 

whatr are the torque specs you were given?

offhand i remember honda recommends torquing to 22 ft/lbs (all) then a second time at 55 ft/lbs. did you follow the proper bolting order?

 

yeah i torqued them in the right order. if i remember correctly the honda spec are about what you said, then i went 10% over, for example if the specs were 58 then i torqued an extra 6 lbs.

 

Did you install the headgasket correct? If not it could/will leak oil as soon as you add some. Later Allen

 

yes, i installed it correctly, there was a stamp on the gasket that said up, and i aligned it properly.

 

Just checking, I've seen it done before, someone installed it with the up facing up, but it was backwards and it didn't work very well. Just thought I'd ask, good luck. Later Allen
