Hey, I post! But im still Learning I cant really help out to much! Now if we shift over the mid late 60's to early 80's BMW's Ill show you what I know. But till then there is a slight learning curve.
Thankful for this helpful group of addicts

I try to post something new when we finish something up like a engine or a tranny. We also post when we have some carnage to show.

Hey Brad..putting my motor together back tonight...well heres the question, the piston that was not firing had some blowby on top of the piston and the gasket(metal) was fried...a piece of about 3 inches or so was toasted. Would the loss of compression from the blown gasket be the reason that the piston was not firing? Sorry if this is a newb question, but I just want to be sure.

You got it. No compression.. no fire... blowby.

We dont use the metal head gaskets... because they blow out.
