Guys I need some help please
I re-fitted my cylinder head yesterday, I noticed the following day that around the head gasket it had been leaking oil?
I've torqued the head bolts down using the torque specs from here
FAQ B series torque specs - Honda-Tech
I'm not sure where i'm going wrong its a brand new Honda head gasket the dowels were put back where they were removed from and the head seemed to have fitted on fine!
The second problem is the car doesn't start, I'm getting fuel and spark all sensors are connected and the engine check light goes off as it should, it does crank but doesnt want to tick over.
I checked everything over several times and even did a compression test which was quite shocking 124psi on cylinder 1... before removing the head I was getting 250psi.
I'm guessing it could be the following:
Timing out
Valve clearence
Head Gasket not sealing properly
I could be wrong so im hoping someone can help me out please
