When I pulled my head the other day I didn't drain my coolent(of corse) so it got everywhere, and It filled my 2 center cylinders, the #3 stayed full and #2, became empty, is this a hint that my rings are bad or is it ok? I thought I had blown my head gasket, I did a comp test and got like 150, 100, 120, 145, and My head gasket was a mitsu 4layer metal headgasket with RTV:)cry: ) the block was never resurfaced and the stock headstuds were reused. So when I got those comp#s I assumed it was the HG, was I wrong, I havn't gotten around to doing another comp test, but anyone know if my rings let coolent by does that meen they are fried????:confused:
 
I used a Stock HG with arps now, and if now I findout my rings are bad im going to cry..:cry:
