leaking head gasket...

[jcs003]

after a ride saturday. pretty steady for about 5 hours noticed my head gasket was just gettin saturated with coolant. what would the culprit be?

prior to this weekend i was getting 180psi and it seemed to be running great.

What type of gasket are you using? Cometic paper style or oem honda 3 piece style? What did you torque the nuts to? Head warped? Have you measured or just guessed?

everything was torqued to spec quite a while ago. the head gasket is OEM. i cant confirn the head is warped but the machine work was done by a reputable shop.

but since you mentioned warped. thats what could have happened since the engine was ridden pretty hard saturday.
