Re: no compression after head change

Maybe im being a little dumb, but is there a wrong way to put the gasket on??
Do i need to set the valve gaps on a new head?

Re: no compression after head change

Hi
I changed the head due to head gasket failure and thought i'd kill to birds with one stone!
I have torqued head down, but cant get the first heat cycle as it wont start.
