I have an engine problem; low compression in 1-3; 6-8. I pulled the heads and there is a very slight depression between those cylinders and that is where the head gasket blew out. I had the heads done in a San Diego head shop (recommended by Steve Ferguson) several years ago and have only put on less than 3K miles. Engine has not overheated and valves look good. My plan is to take the heads to a good shop in Reno NV and have them machined to a good flat shape again. Any suggestions that would be beneficial would be appreciated.
