type r head install complication. help!
i was installing a type r head onto my gsr block. when we cranked it up alot of oil was shooting out of the top left hand corner closest to the distributer. everything else was fine except that one corner. then we took everything apart again and found that the head bolt in that corner wasn't torqued correctly so we loosened all the headbolts in the correct order and re-torqued everything. put everything back together and cranked it and it was still shooting out oil in the same corner. i dont think the head is warped because a leakdown test was done to the valves and none of the purple crap was on the head surface. one of my buddys said that its the headgasket because he said once it is pressed down thats how it stays or something like that. could it be the headgasket even though we torqued that corner down again? please help!
the type r head might had been used on a lsvtec or b20vtec before,and the oil passage fitting might not longer be there anymore which is letting oil flow cleary out the head,on one of my old ls-vtec's the fittin went it just a tad bit off and it leaks exaxtly in that same spot so check that out

also cheek dizzy o-ring and vtec soliend
thanks for the advice. how would i fix that? im sure it wasnt the solenoid or dizzy o ring because we watched oil pour out from the bottom corner while it cranked
