  • cant start after H/G swap

    I just did a Head Gasket swap for the 2nd time.
    Its relatively easy. I started my car today for the 1st time and I let it
    run for a good 20 minutes. No leaks, No smoke, No problems at all!
    It got up to temp (~200F). It was PERFECT!
    I let it sit for 6 hours and it starts right up again. I take off and it just dies on me after I drove about 45 yards. It wouldnt start after it died!
    I pump the pedal (even to floor)to try to get it to start, nothing. Checked all fuses, all connections, their fine! I thought I smelled gas, but I see absolutely no leaks.

    Is it possible for it not to start if my A.F:R is too high? Like 18.0:1 AFR + or more
    THANKS for any feedback at all!!!!

        My compression #s:
        6-80..............5-100
        4-95..............3-93
        2-100............1-80psi

        Shouldnt my compression be like 120-125psi?
        I didnt use anything on the head gaskets...just torqued the bolts down
        Maybe I blew both head gaskets from high AFRs?

          I heard compression should be around 170-180, but I could be wrong.
