No compression after changing head gasket

hope this helps.

The head and block had not been cleaned when it was reassembled at a previous time. There was a lot of greese in between the gasket and hard surfaces. The head seemed to not have been torque down before as the head bolts were loose, in my opinion. I did how ever turn the engine over to clean all the gunk out of the cylinders that fell in when I removd the haed.

Answers to your questions: Yes the plugs are in. Yes I positioned the gasket prorerly with the marked side in the down position, "This side down." No I did not send the head out to be checked for warpness. It had new valves in it and I checked it with a straight edge and it appeared to be fine. After I climbed in bed last I thought about checking the valves so that may be the problem but I am willing to hear everyones ideas. No there is absolutely 0 lbs pressure on all cylinders. Yes I used a torque wrench and yes I tightened them to the specs.

Another question I have is could turning the motor over without the head on mess up the timming? How? I did not remove the cam just the head, rocker arms and push rods.

Let me have it if I have done something wrong. I am young and just learning. My dad is a big help but has limited knowlage.

Sorry for posting here but the Allis board seems to be down.

Thanks again for all your help i really appreacheate(?) it. Tyler

Please don't get offended at these questions. Long-distance diagnosis is an inexact science at best, and without actually seeing what was done and how it was done, one can only guess what might have gone wrong and ask questions.
