NEEEED ADVICE, Head gasket
Re: NEEEED ADVICE, Head gasket
I was wondering. After swapping out a HG, is it normal to see oil on the outer edge of the gasket where the head meets the block? The oil is not actually dripping or even flowing, and it's just more of a "sweat" of oil that you can see on the edge of the gasket that sticks out a .5-1mm out of the head/block "seam". When you wipe it off, oil is gone, but after driving, it comes back but doesn't drip or get any worse. Just a sweat of oil. Is this normal?

Glad to hear. It is common for people to freak out thinking that its a hg when 98% of the time it is just the dizzy o-ring, cam plug, or vtec solenoid gaskets.

You don't have to retorque the studs. I retorqued mine after a year of driving and it stayed the same. None of them came loose.
Catch can for a b20 I highly recommend it. Its not for more whp, its so your motor does not suffocate. Its cheap insurance if you ask me. Theres actually a guy selling just the Endyn catch can on the H-T marketplace.
