THREAD CLOSE PLEASE
thanks for the people who help or give me an idea.
I just got a call from spoon that they don't recommend to reuse headgasket.
Which mean I'm buying another one

Lots of people reuse good quality head gaskets (especially MLS gaskets) and never have a problem. Some reuse head gaskets and do have problems. I wouldn't reuse a head gasket, but I don't buy super expensive Spoon head gaskets so I can't really relate to your problem.




It's only a head gasket, right...? What could go wrong?

I'm actually a lot more curious about how and why you destroyed a piston ring during break-in....

I was thinking about that too but this what happen when we install the piston rings on the tools we kinda forced the piston to get insert it to the block and maybe while forcing it we maybe made a crack or bent on the rings only # 2 but the rest are fine. That's my answer how I might mess it up..
During the break in I heard a metal part inside the block which no expectation it was the rings on #2 I just took off the head and check it out and i was right #2 piston is not doing the job and still clean no burn or what so ever..
Thanks for the concern tho

use copper spray on the headgasket and you can try and re use it

NO headgaskets add horsepower = use oem Honda or any of the well known brands. Cometic MLS etc

NO, you are completely wrong.
A thinner head gasket would make the head closer to the block, thus raising the compression.
higher comp= mour powwa

Yeah that's my point
