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

Despite what Dave Buschur said We went with the 4 layer metal mitsu head gasket and arp's. Mike at Road Race said it was a solid set up smile.gif
That is so wierd that I am hearing more and more about the oem head gasket failing. Ours looked like it just deteriorated.....
