I'm not sure yet, I'll know tomorrow if the head will be salvageable. if so I'll probably just gasket match and polish em. I'll let ya know tho

have you turned it over to make sure the pistons are all moving. if only one side head is bad why did both sides have pistons with 0 compression. its not adding up.

so an overall: it ended up being that my heads were warped out pretty good(0.020") and the one was detonated in two places, and the head gaskets were completely destroyed.. so bad that compression was able to pass between all of the cylinders on the passenger bank. but the bottom end is completely fine yay!! I got the heads milled, I lapped in all of the valves and that turned out great(good seats).. and the head that was detonated I got welded and machined, you can't even tell that it was ever messed up. I got the heads on today. check out the pics
