i have been having problems getting my car running after a rebuild, it's all in the head though, i think. when i first got it running, it was only running on 3 cylinders, four, three and two. check for spark and fuel, they were both straight. then i did a compression check, about 160 on four, three, two, and 60 on one. pulled the head off, no bent valves but there were small pieces of metal in the intake valve seats on # one. took a dremel and some valve grinding compound to it, made it look a little better. thought that was the fix. put the head back on and did another compression check and got 120 on four, three, one, and only 20 on two?! what the hell, why would this happen?! how many times can u torque down arp's? this was the third time at 60 ft/lbs.
