i would suggest just going with an OEM honda head gasket and ARP head studs. if you are gonna up the boost in the future it wont hurt to put a block guard but i think it would be unnecessary unless your going to build the block.

OEM headgaskets are fine. Get ARP headstuds for a d16. You don't need a blockguard. If I can run 430 whp on a d17 with no sleeves or gay *** ****ing blockguard, so can you.

What you really need to focus on is what caused the blown headgasket in the first place...

yeah did you overheat or something? too much compression? broken fans? here what you need at the minimum...

-new head bolts (oem is fine or go with arp)

-new head gasket, header gasket, and IM gasket oem fine

-oil and coolant and oil filter

-optional is crank pulley, water pump, and timing belt (and cam gear if yours is bad or you want to put aem on.

check the old head out before putting it back! take it in to a machine shop and have them check for warpage and compression. also a good time to swap in a new cam.

there is almost never a reason to replace the header gasket or intake mani gasket most dealerships won't even carry them cause there is never a need for them. unless you really screw up, those gasket's are pretty hard to destroy. and there is no reason to replace the crank pulley unless you break it.

you probably blew the had gasket due to bad engine managment or too much boost for stock head studs

nah .. i don't htink too much boost 7 psi on tsi kit is nothing .. i think jus a bad tune..

 
Rep Power: 812

you cant reuse crush gaskets man. unless he plans to remove the head with the im and header still attached, which i doubt.

 
Rep Power: 350

I've reused my stock im and ex mani gaskets more times than I can count and don't have any leaks at all.

 
Rep Power: 812

i guess it depends on the car then. i reused my header gasket once and had an exhaust leak the next day.

 
Rep Power: 275

yeah I have removed mine like 20-30 times on two different engines and never had any leaks

 
Rep Power: 223

not really overheat but I saw the needle at H twice soo I pulled over to the side. lately i keep seeing my coolant reservoir overflowing and i keep putting coolant in my rad. so I am assuming that this is my head gasket gone right? need some input

 
Rep Power: 812

if the dummy temp gauge was on H, you overheated already and possibly blew the headgasket or warped the head itself.

 
Rep Power: 379

Agreed. The head needs to come off vato. Mine is off right now

 
Rep Power: 223

so should i go with cometic headgasket or nippon leakless? what size is the nippon oem any ideas?

 
Rep Power: 812

nippon

 
Rep Power: 223

anyone know the part no for arp head studs for d17? im confused on what people are posting

 
Rep Power: 379

Rep Power: 350

No "y" in there buddy, just the d16z

 
Rep Power: 379

You forgot a period at the end of your sentence.

 
Rep Power: 248

Well played. Imaginary +1 for you since rep is gay and we don't have vbPlaza.

 
Rep Power: 350

You forgot to wipe your chin after I nutted on your face.

 
Rep Power: 329

Some things never change

 
Rep Power: 300

Agreed.

you take **** to personal and you have ****ed up more than once youself. Sorry if eveyone doesn't know as much about a ****ing d16 or d17 as you. You are here to help and not point out everytime someone does something different than you or messes things up.

Not everyone wants to spend that much money on a damn budget car, sometimes we just want to make decent power with the parts we have and need direction and help.

You offer great advice and I have come to you many times but sometimes you act like your 12 instead of 28.

 
Rep Power: 350

WTF are you talking about?
Dallis and I are friends. We talk all the time. This is purely joking between friends....

 
Rep Power: 300

you tend to be a bit condescending at times is all. Dont take it personal but half the members here know what i am talking about.
Sorry if I seem butt hurt over this and maybe I read your post with the wrong tone. If so, my bad.

 
Rep Power: 350

I don't care what anyone thinks, to be honest. People who know me know how I am and know that I'm ****ing around most of the time. I will be an ******* to people who open their mouths and let **** fly out, because, imo, they don't need to be putting out that type of misinformation.

But that type of thing, I do take personally. You have to understand that when I first started modding this car, there was no information and almost no part availability for this engine. I had nothing but problems with a piggyback and had to wait around for real management to even come out.

I've gotten bad advice as well as no advice and I can't stand when someone posts bullshit.
