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....

4 layer Ralliart headgasket. Its like $90 of insurance. I wouldn't go with anything else. In fact, I tore the head off the motor shipped to me and had it replaced with the Ralliart 4 layer HG. I like the ARP fasteners but not enough to have spent the money on them.
Of course my car still doesn't run so... -------------------- |
