All that shit and it was not the head gasket at least i got a valve job now time to start to put back together.
You scared me because i have that head set and might use it unless i find a better alternative soon. It looks decent but not as high quality as the OEM honda ones looked so i was skeptical of using it.
Good luck this time around!
good to hear your motor is good. its a good time to use a better turbo. so what a PITA, but it sounds like the setup is going to be better now!
