[Spridgets] Head Gasket woes

[Frank Clarici]

Another year, another head gasket blew.
Same spot, #2 cylinder and water into the cylinder.
Again, I have this low speed miss but it goes away at about 1500 rpms.
changed the plugs, no change, compression test showed great compression 
but I could smell the coolant squirting out around the compression 
gauge. Pull the gauge off and I can see coolant squirting out of the 
spark plug hole.
At least it made it to Missouri and back before blowing.
So the next day it's under 95* out in the garage, I guess I have a small 
project to do.
And this is exactly what happened in May of 2007, blown gasket @ #2 cyl.
So what am I looking for? Warped head? Twisted engine block? or just 
crappy gaskets?
The 1st one that blew was a good one, this one was a standard gasket, 
and no I do NOT want copper, I have blown EVERY copper gasket I ever 
tried on 4 or 5 different Sprites and Minis over the years.
