I wasn't aware their proprietary design was flawed? I got mine from Cody at Lovefab. Is there any way to tell which version I have?

So Inline Pro told you they know MORE about headgaskets than Cometic? I am very skeptical about this. Even more so than the oil jet bolt removal debate...

 

taking the intake manifold of is a PITA it will be much easyer just to pull the head w/ the intake mani on there.

 

Hey, I'm just repeating what word I know. John knows I'm on this board quite a bit. Why would he say Cometic went back to Inline's design and scrapped their own reworking if it weren't true?

Either way, I have compression loss.

 

FF2Skip, did you use any copper spray? What did you torque the head to?

 

No on the spray. I want to say the company we got them from said 87 ft.lbs. I'll check w/ Black Nugget... he ordered both sets(his/mine) and talked to them.

 

Regarding your compression loss, have you verified your valves, valve seats and rings are alright? Is the head/block true? Was the head torqued in 3 steps and in sequence?

 

I've not touched the car since the Dragon. I've been immersed in a home theater project that I'm trying to make look decent before my wife's suprise b-day party tomorrow.

The block was brand-spanking new from Honda. The head was prepped by Laskey. Joe, brother of Hardtopguy, actually did that part of the install, so i can't say with 100% certainty, however, this isn't the first motor he's put together for an S.
