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....

Is it possible that specs were changed on OEM replacement headgaskets that are made now, versus the ones that were made a few years ago, or are motors just becoming more powerful. The mitsu headgasket on 3S cars has never been blown apart by power that I know of, and this is on 700hp + cars.
