Before i replaced my i replaced my my stock HG with a IP 3mm i had 240 psi on all cylinders. Just realizing after all these hours spent in my garage the past 2 days your not supposed to reuse head gaskets. Now I'm seeing 210,210,235,210.


Basically, DONT REUSE A HEAD GASKET.

 

I'm really sorry to say this buddy, but yea man thats one gasket you always should replace if you have the chance.

Sorry to be a dick, but that really really really blows.

 

those numbers aren't that bad. Just sayin.

 

i know, but the thing is i dont know if it will get worse. I dont care how much power the care makes to be honest.


Do you think i should just drive it around and see if it gets worse ?

 

Is it possible there can be a lot of coolant leaking into cylinder with those numbers of
235,210,210,210 ???

 

Those numbers seem fine. The spread in numbers is what you need to look for, unless they're stupid low.

But yeah, NEVER reuse a head gasket.

 

Just checked the #'s again more precisely. They are 220,220,230,220. I don't know why but i feel like thats so terrible and i'm down like 20 hp or something.

 

thats not awful, and honestly if your selling teh car i wouldnt worry about it tahts for sure.

 

I know alot of guys that would love those compression numbers. I wouldn't worry about as long as you know that you torqued it properly and had a good bead of hondabond. It probably set pretty good.

 

Of course your compression is lower with a 3mm head gasket. That's what it is designed for.

Just get it nicely tuned and enjoy it.
