Looks like the "brand new" head gasket that I put on blew between the 2 and 3 cylinders. Near 0 compression on both. Any suggestions to keep me from re-visiting this problem again. It's gonna take some time to get this thing back on the road again anyway, so I'm not gonna mess around this time. In fact, I'm temped to go ahead and buy or build a stage 1 or 2 head for it and be done with it.
Head gasket suggestions... OEM mitsu? 4 layer metal? others? TIA Rob -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

I've been searching this topic myself, so I will share the info that I have found.
depending on how much boost or how radical your engine is... lets start with the extreme engine oem mitsu head gasket... arp studs.... and a oringed head(stainless steal ring on the head) ACCORDING TO BUSCHUR RACING THIS COMBINATION IS THE BEST. THEY BLOW MOTORS APART BEFORE LOSING HEAD GASKET SEAL next best thing is...Arp head studs and mitsu metal head gasket.... anything less is not reliable -------------------- I sold my dsm, and all the parts...I bought a 300z that ran a 15 sec quarter at 91 mph...this sucks.
