1981 Honda Xl185s keeps blowing head gaskets. Put a brand new one in yesterday and today it blew again. That's 2 head gaskets in less then 24 hours. What am I missing??? This is really starting to get on my nerves! Please help me before this goes to the scrap yard.

Definitely need to have the top end machined.

Is it possible that the ole fashin way will work? Glass, sandpaper and a table? I'm running out of money for this thing! When i first bought it it had a minor cylinder leak, and valve cover leak. Figured be a good person and fix them. First off the cam locks up. Second the timing chain gets screwed up. And now this!
