    Should I have put oil or sealant on the head bolts? I put oil as I always have but I just read in Alldata that thread sealant is used. Something just tells me that I did something wrong when putting the heads on. I'm gonna check compression tomorrow, remove the head bolts and clean them and reinstall them (maybe about 5 ft lbs over torque) and recheck compression to see if it changes. I build this in the backyard with now shelter so I dont think I paid as good attention to what I was doing as I would in the shop
