Folks…

More of a rant and denial of reality here- but- in order to keep the bubbles from entering my coolant I decided to take a quick (ha ha) dive into the head retorque on my 1.9er…it really did go flawless…

However…now I’m thinking I may have OVER torqued or done something stupid because the compression went down to 0- little to no resistance… have I put the rocker arms on too tight? did the retorque pull the heads in too far so that the valves are now too tight?

I am planning on a valve adjust next- but what else should I make sure of before I do that? Am I missing anything else? 

After oil pressure related issues and now this coolant thing- I’m thinking of a rebuilt- but would like to delay that even if only a little while longer :-D
