Compression issues

[1991_talon]

Okay guys I installed a 2G block with a ported exhaust eagle rods truck crank and wiseco pistons punched .30 over. The block had plasma rings, however I didn't install plasma rings on the head. I drove the car a good 100 miles yesterday and it started shooting coolant and eventually lost pressure in all cylinders except number 3. I am assuming the head gasket separated as the car was loosing coolant from the back of the head. Could this issue be due to not installing plasma rings on the head to seal? Please help guys I just got this build done and it has lots of potential but I cannot afford to have these head issues and im clueless right now .

umm maybe the rings you didnt put in have something to do with it

I do not want to be rude, but maybe just kick back for this one. To the OP, I have to put in my $0.02, With a closeup of the o-ringed chamber like this. "Who needs a boost controller?" No, sorry I kid.... To the problem on hand, you can only find out one way unfortunately. It is hard to say in my opinion, even if you did torque everything "good & tight", then maybe it could be possible that it still came apart...I hate to see you tear it all down and start again.

Put her up on a lift and found a loose hose Sometimes its the little things we overlook i guess. The compression checked out fine I had it towed to a pep boys because I lived to far from home and they apparently do not know how to do a proper compression test WTF
