Hi!
This christmas decided to put bigger injectors on my m20b20! went for m50b25 injectors and put them in my engine :) Tuned AFM accordingly.

In my "test drive" with the new injectors the car runned great, very smooth, until it decided to overheat... a lot!
Had to put cold water to cool it down but it came out right away in form of vapor!
Had to tow it home and there verified that the thermostat was not working.
For testing purposes, I cut the thermostat and after 8-10 min the car was overheating again!
A local mechanic said it was the head gasket. Had to spend all my money in the gaskets + bolts.
So I pulled apart the engine head, lots of deposits, but the gasket seemed fine. some minor time-related marks, but no evident damage!
Also, when pulling apart almost everything, had engine oil until the AFM!

I am sending head to shop for smoothening the surface & cleaning valves.
I am afraid of putting all back together and doing the same thing! Any suggestions?
