The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Compression Problem Revisited - Update

Paul - I found info in Andrews' book (p 149) indicating that the rolled side goes down - ie, facing the block. You are quite right about the delta on #2....I'm wondering if the new head gasket that I installed has been damaged by whatever caused the trouble with the old gasket. I did not resurface the head when I replaced the gasket.

Will re-torque again - likely tomorrow. Grafton is about 10 miles south of Worcester.

Thanks for your input!
