Re: honda 225 4 stroke overheating

A leakdown test is a quick and somewhat easy way to troubleshoot your gasket suspicions.Your comp #s look okay if they are close to the rest of the engine.You have not indicated how many hours you have on this unit,the environmet it is used in,or frequency of use.
