Re: 288 stuck valves

Well I ordered a complete gasket kit from Max Merrit and looked in the maintenance manual where it made mention of two adjacent cylinders with no compression being a blown head gasket. So off the head came and yes the gasket was blown. The engine has no more than maybe two hundred miles on it since overhaul but this gasket was definitely not as robust as the one I replaced it with. The valves were fine, everything was fine except this crappy head gasket. So back together it went and it runs great.
