The head pressure tested fine and they had to machined it 0.013". Which would definitely explain my overheating and coolant usage. I'm still concerned about the pitting in the block surface around the #4 cylinder. I measured it with a straight edge and the rest of the block was perfect but at the pit marks it's 0.007" out. According to the manual when checking the block anything above 0.020" is out of specs. Which seems really high to me! Honda, where I work, only recommend a tolerance of 0.004" when checking blocks! The block is still in the car and I don't really want to remove it and strip it down if I don't have to but of course I don't want to have a repeat issue with overheating either. Plus I'm worried if the block has to be decked that the combination of the head and block machining may be too much. I'm tempted to install the new head gasket and see what happens. Worst case I've got to remove the head again and have the block done. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
