My car is dead
DH racing screwed me over. their port and polish cylinder head messed up my car now I have a head gasket leak and coolant going all over the engine bay and on the plugs. I'm done. If anyone has a vtec head with everything on it, I'm in desperate need of one. somehow i'm gonna have to become an expert in auto repair real soon cause I'm gonna have to fix it myself. Yea i'm screwed.

Rep Power: 812 the head is already milled way past the limit. i knew this would come back to bite me someday. its milled 1mm and honda says never mill more than 2/10 mm. that would explain the 200psi instead of stock 135. Like i said, this head has to go. i didn't really know until now.
wow a whole millimeter off huh, ouch.
well good luck on repairs and if your going turbo dont mill it and go for thicker headgaskets.
the head replacement wont be that difficult, its just really time consuming. take your time and make a weekend out of it. ill try to remember when i go into school to print out the process for you (mitchell on-demand, its like a huge service manual for every car out there online).
you should get arp head studs while your at it.

Rep Power: 812 i have a service manual but there are alot of things to do. I'm worried about swapping the camshaft and setting the timing on top of removing all that stuff. I guess i'll post here if i get stuck. first i need a new head and supplies. Its gonna be done in the parking lot here outside during winter most likely. I can take the bus some places so I can prolly be without a car for a week or so.

Rep Power: 312 dude that sux so much, i seriously wish i was in one of the surrounding states, i'd drive in to help you, you've done so much for this site to help everyone, it's the least i could do (hint hint to anyone around gearbox)
dh racing is still up and running ^
the whole parking lot in the winter thing sounds kinda iffy but if thats all youve got to work with just take percaustions that nothing gets rusty or wet inside there.
