did a min ime swap (y8 head, z6 gasket, on my crx si with a6 bottom), did everything correctly, torqued everything down right, did everything by the book. go to start it, and it wont start. i noticed it cranked slower then it should. a couple times after 5 seconds of cranking it would try to start but would quickly die. did a compression check. first two cylinders had 170, 3 and 4 had nothing. i noticed when i went to test the 3rd and 4th that it wouldnt even crank normal, it sounded like the starter was just spinning at a constant speed. for example, normally it would make a sound similar to REER REER REER, instead it went REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER, and no compression.

after that, i thought maybe the block was bad, (had bad waterpump, looked real beat) so i switched it with a d15b7 (ran good), noticed that tehre was coolant in my oil when i drained it =\. put the y8 head on the b7, etc etc, attempted to start up again, and now its doing the same thing.

the head was pulled off a running motor. im thinking either the gasket is bad (event though ti is new, 3 layer metal, or the valves are bent or something). when i removed the y8 head off the y8 block, i didtn set it to top dead center, so when i put it on my crx motor i had to attach the timing belt and turn it to get the head to tdc (i couldnt turn the cam gear with my hand), could that of done soemthing. someone please help, this is really gettin on my nerves!

ttt, anyone? does no one have any ideas? ok so there was a little coolant in my oil, didnt really see much oil in coolant. what woudl cause this within the head, bad head gasket, cracked head? idunno, just ideas. how do i test the valves to see if they are stuck or not. i have tried but cannot turn the cam by my hand, what should i do, what are the chances the head gasket i bought was defunct? i got it new.
