All cylinders where at 45 PSI when my son in law started in on it so he wet tested it and had no change. He pulled the head and I had it re worked but used the old metal head gasket at re install (I know I thought about this but it was tuff to get the new one quick and he said it looked fine). Now he has little or no compression ....I believe this is the kent engine but I'm just not sure ....he's bringing it back down to my shop today so I can get my hands on it and I'm thinking new engine ....but in the mean time I was thinking of trying a new head gasket and running this puppy in the ground .... any input on the engine or what might bolt up? How about the head gasket deal ...could the other gasket been so conformed from torquing that now its blowing out the sides? Could there be anything else I should look for on the upper end causing my lack of compression? Thanks a lot people for any input in advance and I really like the site</p></blockquote><p></p>
