chances are its the head, but its possible for both. i would just get the head done and throw it on. if you had a deck ruler to check it would be nice. a regular ruler wont be exact enough

Very nice! Clean and simple, jdm as F*&#. I like it and it has alot of potential. Good luck with it
Yeah, mine got to a little over 3/4 on the temp scale twice, so I think that could have been enough.
I would just do the head, but I'm worried I'll take all the time to take it apart, get the head milled, and put it back together and there will still be a coolant leak...
Thanks man!
No too much to update on my car. I am taking the head off tonight and dropping it off at the machine shop on Monday.
I went to the Performance and Style show at the Carlisle Fairgrounds today. Here are some of the cooler cars I saw:
RHD EK hatch with a Domani front end
Widebody R34 GTR from Canada
Super clean RHD CRX
CRX convertible??
Another RHD EK hatch
Nice coupe on sitting on Works
Burnout competition!

sick photos. except for the r34 widebody. godzilla should stay oem lol.
I agree they look nice stock, but I think they can look cool with widebodys too. It reminded me of a Super GT racer.
I took everything off the head last night, with the exception of the head studs. When I went to take them off this morning, the one in the front corner near the transmission, where I was seeing the coolant leak, was much looser than the rest. I checked the block and head with a metal ruler and I flashlight, both appear to be straight. I still think I'm going to take it to a machine shop tomorrow to have them check the head.
ah i know the owner of the first hatch with the domani front. luis v, pretty cool guy, very quiet, and his two brothers have very nice cars
What kind of cars do his brothers have? They were probably there too.
one has a dark blue fa5 i believe it is with all oem type r parts and a cabon fiber front end. the other brother is more focused on speed, he works at local import shop and wont tell many people what it is but its an eg hatch i believe. right now he dailys a del sol on 16x9 borbets lol They are all from Reading
Oh haha ok. Well when I saw that hatch, I thought of you because I know you've been contemplating doing a front end for awhile.
haha yeah i talk to him and it kinda made me want to do it and so many people hate it that it made me really want to do it but rock an Isuzu grill
Haha I say go for it!
I dropped my head off at the machine shop this morning on the way to school. They called me before the day was over to say I could come pick it up. It wasn't really warped, but they said it wasn't perfectly flat, so they refinished it for me. They also pulled out two broken bolts and cleaned the whole thing. I was really impressed, definitely worth the money.
Haha thanks! I hope to have the head gasket all fixed up this weekend.It's been a while since I've peeked in here. I'm sorry about the HG
And jesus criminy that motor is clean. Holy moley.
Sorry man, I missed this post earlier. It was $115 for the resurfacing and full cleaning.
Damn thats a good price! Nice to see ur getting her squared away...
Yeah I was super happy. I didn't even ask them to clean it. Oh and they pulled out to broken bolts for me.
I didn't have time to take a lot of pics, but it's been awhile so I thought I would give you guys some.
Here is the head, waiting to be put back in.
Also did some stuff to the interior...
Up next: S2K steering wheel and cluster
Also, this is one of the reasons I've been so busy for the last couple weeks. One of my final projects for physics was a trip to Hershey Park and a full analysis on a roller coaster. Here is my model:
Can't wait to graduate! 7 days!
