Stock head gasket on boosted Accord
Is anyone running a boosted car with a stock honda head gasket? I originally went with a copper head gasket and it leaked big time. Then I went with SCE ICS Titan copper head gasket, that has a cumbustion rings built in. Still it started leaking. Unfortunately Cometic's doesnt make a gasket for my car cause there gaskets are great.
Im now thinking of just trying a factory gasket cause I heard their pretty tough, but Im wondering if it will hold up to 15 P.S.I of boost.

Hell, theres a 300zx making over 1,000 rwhp on the stock nissan head gasket. I wonder if anyone has ever really tested it to see what it holds too, not too many people have the kinda of time/money for that though.

you might wanna replace the head bolts...it might not be your head gasket leaking it could be leaking out of your valve cover...I had that problem...so check that out and get back to us...
