new head gasket now engine want start

  1. #1
    Hi
    renewed head gasket on my 1.1. Skimmed head and fitted new thicker gasket. Now engine wont start. Checked compression and down to 70:60:50:50psi (4.8:4.1:3.4:3.4 bar), was 7 bar in worst cylinder before started.
    The reason I did head was because pressure was building up in water and one on the cylinders was low, after someone one ran it without water.

    ok that is very low, make sure you have tightened the head down correctly.

    correct torque and correct tightening method
