The engine is a B18a1 obd1 i recently had the valves reground and replaced the head gasket. I was never able to get the engine to run after the machine work
the bottom end has 144000 miles on it
leakdown / comp.test (no 30wtoil) / comp.test(with oil)
#1 20% / 90 psi / 280 psi
#2 25% / 95 psi / 240 psi
#3 20% / 90 psi / 190 psi
#4 20% / 90 psi / 180 psi

Im about to pull this thing out and rebuild it.

 

did you listen for any leaks and poped off the radiator cap when doing the leakdown? also sounds like you might have a bad valve job if it started right after the valves were cut.

 

i didn't listen for anything, i will try it agian later tonight. I might have to get the head re-inspected by another machine shop

 

you have to listen where the air is rushing out of when doing a leakdown...
