Default is this a headgasket

well finished the d15b yesterday and started her up starts idle like ****. idled better like 5 mintues later. that when i rev it up to 3500 it completetly shut off. found out the coil failed.burned itself out for some reason. swappped out new coil started up idles perfect. i mean awesome.
okay here goes the tricky part. i see oil residue next to the headgasket #'s right under the distributor. well thought it was just residue. sprayed some brake clean on that spot. the ilding stumbled. oh ****. bad news. sprayed some more same result. seems like the leak is around cylinder 4. after about 45 seconds a small burst off smoke cam outta that same area. it somehow ignited the brake clean residue throught the head gasket. **** . but besides that it idles perfect. haven't drove it yet.

has anyone tried to loosen all the head bolts and retorque them possibly like 3 lbs more then spec. do you guys think this is gonna work,

also if i have to change headgasket should i go with the d16y8 headgasket. what is the compression going to be. please help me.
