Head gaskets on the 4g and 5g just quite simply don't blow. Honda switched to a multi-layer-metal (MLM) gasket on the H22 which has virtually no chance of failing. A failure is usually due to improper installation or something more severe, like a damaged head, compromised cylinder, etc.
Thanks for the reply. I cranked on each cylinder about 6 times for 2-3 seconds each, So i'm sure I got to TDC. And my numbers of 185,190,185,185 are good.

Going on that and what you said.. what could it be other than my headgasket?

The coolant is filling up the overflow bottle to the point that it's too low on fluid. I have bled the sysem several times, and I have changed the thermostat. What else could it be?
