Thanks for the video tip Chuckles.
Yes, they are the Butler head gaskets. It wasn't a big deal to clean off the head surface.
Directions on the gasket say metal part should face the block, except when the block is o-ringed, which this one is. Guess the builder didn't read those directions?
The lifters aren't loosening up. I still have several plungers with no movement. Will call Monday to see what they recommend. I see the Johnson's lifters still listed on their site, so I will ask about that.
Going to lap the two exhaust valves on the cylinders that had no compression. Cliff's test showed a bit of leakage.
