Just realized i didnt put the oil control orifice in

motor has not been used yet, just put the head on last night

am i screwed with the headgasket or can i salvage it...i know the right way is to get a new one but im kind of strapped for cash right now..TIA

 

if its new i would go ahead

 

thats what i want to hear
but i have way too much into this motor to let something stupid like this screw it up

any other opinions?

 

so then buy a new one...

 

Face it you got to pull the head off to put them in.

I heard that people have re-used headgaskets with very low or no engine use on them with success but then again for every one of those people there about 5 that say no way.

What id do.... Id give it a shot and give and it a compression check .
Whats it going to hurt, nothing except for your spare time if yu end up having to replace it.

Good luck
