No o ring on head just block we used copper spray sealant not sure if my friend used the right torque specs or something with the head when I got it fixed I dropped it off yesterday to another machine shop and he said it didn't look right so there going to check it all over. I'm pretty much clueless what went wrong. So now I'm doing it myself to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Ok Well got my cylinder head back thanks to r&l engines in Durham nh. They are the best around here any way my head was previously fixed when I bent valves and the idiot used a sander to shave my head and was not flat so that leads to the root of failure thank god that's it and she had some warp but now ordering thicker head gasket to lower compression and hopefully good to go to tune. Will update and more pics.

Nothing crazy for now just want to get her running not breaking and make consistent. But my goal 10's wich shouldn't be a problem if everything goes smoothly.

Did you just say what I think you just said???

Well I'm glad to see you have decided to do the reassembly yourself! Even if you don't have a clue you surely can't do worse that your idiot friend!!!
I hope it all goes well for you from here.
Cheers,
Jason
