I went though 3 head gaskets before we found out that the stock studs from Honda will stregth from the high compression and head. After I went and got a set of the larger head bolts from TC Racing I have not had any problems. Most people think that the gasket is bad, but it is the stock bolts from What Tom Carlson told me. He said that the bolts are weak and the Studs go into the head not the cast like on other engines and this cases the threads to pull out of the metal in the head with higher compresion. The larger bolts solved my problem.
