Thanks, Ill give that ^ a try man. I have cranked and cranked and it will just sputter on 1 cyl (#4). Now all I can think is 1, maybe washed out piston rings from flooding but in that case i would still have SOME kind of compression. I dont know. My next guess was that the head gasket didnt seal right considering that 1: I didnt deck the block at all, and 2: I used a cosworth 1.8 mm metal hg. So maybe it didnt seal right?

I would love to hand it over to a shop and make them deal with it but thats 1300 bones or so compared to doing it myself for 300?
